Respuesta :
I believe Gothic fiction is exemplified in this excerpt by involving the narrator with an odd cast of characters.
You can see in the excerpt that there are the Irish captain, the gentleman with the ruined head, the old gentleman with the nose, the Baronet, etc. Those are quite odd characters to be around, especially during the night in a haunted house. All of these are characteristics of Gothic fiction, which is very dark, mysterious, and horror-like. The other options are either not apparent in this excerpt or just plain incorrect.
