Question 8 of 10 • $2526: SEM 1: 1001370: English 3: NEW credit
Read the excerpt from Poe’s "The Fall of the House of Usher."No sooner had these syllable passed my lips, than -- as if a shield of brass had indeed, at the moment, fallen heavily upon a floor of silver -- I became aware of a distinct, hollow, metallic, and clangorous, yet apparently muffled reverberation. Completely unnerved, I leaped to my feet; but the measured rocking movement of Usher was undisturbed. How might the word "unnerved" indicate that the narrator is unreliable?

A
The word suggests the narrator is too distracted to comprehend the events.
B
The word suggests the narrator is too confused to understand the events.
C
The word suggests the narrator is too frightened to portray events accurately
D
The word suggests the narrator is too tired to describe the events correctly.
