analyze poe’s word choices in this excerpt from “the black cat.” the tone exhibited in this excerpt may be described as
a. gullible

Explanation:

The tone is illustrated as the approach or attitude adopted by the author towards a particular subject matter which is reflected through the use of language or word choice. It primarily intends to provide the readers with a perspective to look at the text that assists them to understand the text effectively(by recognizing the author's attitude and its reason) and elicit the desired response.

In the given excerpt from "The Black Cat", the tone exhibited would be categorized as 'gullible' because there is a kind of unwariness in author's attitude in this excerpt which is reflected by the phrases 'but...grew upon me...for what...is like..Alcohol', 'at length even Pluto...becoming old...experience..effects..my ill-temper'. These phrases evidently reflect the unreliability or gullibility of the author. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
