Show Answers

The position of the rooms where the distressed women resideThe condition of the houses when the main characters first see themThe placement of the houses within their surrounding neighborhoodsThe comparative ages of the housesThe architectural styles of the houses

Explanation

The key difference lies in the physical condition of the houses upon introduction to the protagonists; in one story, the house is notably run-down, while in the other, it is not. Other factors such as room location, community placement, or age are less significant in distinguishing their Gothic characteristics.
