Answer:

B. It increases the violence of the action and highlights its importance.

Explanation:

In this story written by Edgar Allan Poe, one of his darkest and most troubling stories —and when talking about Poe narrative, that is saying a lot— he tells a story of remorse and an unbearable sense of guilt. In the passage above, the word hung, repeated almost to a maniacal degree, exacerbates the senselessness of his action, the violence it implies, and in so doing, it accentuates the relevance of this very action for the development of the story and the sense of guilt that the narrator is experiencing.
