Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
In the story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator tells that he has killed an old man because he could not bear to see his horrible eye. He suffocated him with his own bed and when he felt the old man'd heart stop, cut him into peaces and hid him under the floor. A neighbour heart the man scream and called the police. When they arrived, the narrator explained that he had screamed in his sleep and that the old man was out of town. But, while talking to them, the narrator starts hearing a sound, like a ticking clock or a beating heart, and, no matter what he did, this noise continued to increase. This shows the narrator's paranoia of being discovered by the police, since the last thing he heart was the old man's heart as it stopped beating.
