American Literature CLEP Prep Practice Exam

Edgar Allan Poe's only complete novel was entitled "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket." This option is the correct answer because it is the only option that refers to a novel written by Poe, as opposed to a short story or poem. Option A, "The Gold-Bug," is a short story written by Poe. Option B, "The Tell-Tale Heart," is also a short story written by Poe. Option C, "The Fall of the House of Usher," is a short story and not a complete novel. Therefore, the other options are incorrect because they do not correspond with Poe's only complete novel.
