Jocelyn Hubbard · Answer 2

A. He wrote this stanza first.

Explanation:

Poe argues that the importance of unity is the first stanza. Poe turns his attention to poetry because he explains the deliberate choices that he has made in his composition. He explains the importance of brevity and its effectiveness in the community. Therefore he believes that beauty is the promise of his work. The most legitimate of all is his poetical tone that explains how he arrives the raven figure despite the involvement in the difficulties due to different accountability modes.
