What is the title of the 1845 novel by Edgar Allan Poe?

“The Cask of Amontillado”
“The Fall of the House of Usher”
“The Purloined Letter”
“The Raven”

The correct answer is: “The Fall of the House of Usher”

The title of the 1845 novel by Edgar Allan Poe is "The Fall of the House of Usher". This option stands out as the only option presented as a title of a novel, while the other options are titles of short stories or poems. "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Purloined Letter" are both short stories by Poe, while "The Raven" is a poem. This context can help eliminate these options as potential correct answers.
