B. The speaker opens his bedroom door into darkness and there is nothing there so he closes the door quickly and runs back to bed.

C. The speaker opens his bedroom door, stands there a while, whispers into the darkness, “Lenore,” and hears this word echo softly but nothing more.

D. The speaker opens his door as fast as he can to run into his room, away from the scary darkness in the hallway that has no lighting.
