Question

Which sentence provides evidence that the narrator in "The Black Cat" may be unreliable?

Question 1 options:

"From my infancy I was noted for the docility and humanity of my disposition."


"My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events."


"We had birds, gold-fish, a fine dog, rabbits, a small monkey and a cat."


"Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence."

Answer 1

Answer: "Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence."

Explanation: The sentence "Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence", warns the reader from the reliability of the narrator, since he is already claiming that it would be crazy for people to believe in him, and he accepts that there is "evidence" of something he is about to tell.
