“Once upon a midnight dreary” is the beginning of which famous poem?

  1. “Annabel Lee”

  2. “To Helen”

  3. “The Raven”

  4. “The Bells”

The correct answer is: “The Raven”

"Once upon a midnight dreary" is the opening line of "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. This famous poem begins with a sense of darkness and melancholy, setting the eerie tone for the rest of the poem. This line is not present in the other options, making them incorrect. "Annabel Lee" begins with "It was many and many a year ago," "To Helen" begins with "Helen, thy beauty is to me," and "The Bells" begins with "Hear the sledges with the bells." These opening lines do not match the opening line of "The Raven," making them incorrect.
