In "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce, the option that best describes the effect of this narration is <em>D. It tricks the reader into thinking that Farquhar survives.</em>
Farquhar is on a railroad bridge twenty feet above the water. His wrists are tied on his back and in his neck, there is a noose. He is surrounded by soldiers of the Northern army. His execution is going to take place very soon. The effect of the narration in the opening part is a set of realistic circumstances which will soon change without the reader being aware of this.
There are several things that might be symbolized by the word bridge in this line from the poem, but perhaps one thing would be the connections that you form in life.
In The Red Badge of Courage, when Henry wakes up in camp the day after fighting, he first think he is in a Charnel place because the sleeping men around him look dead.
