Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher tells the gothic story of our unnamed narrator/ protagonist who had gone to stay with his friend in their family home. The plot of the story includes themes of horror, unrealistic events, insanity and also of friendship and family.

In the given passage, the narrator mentions how he came to be at the Usher house. His friend Roderick Usher's invitation had brought him to "this mansion of gloom". But he was not forced into coming, for he reveals "it was the apparent heart that went with his request—which allowed me no room for hesitation". This line shows how he felt to be with his friend, and went on his own accord.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
