For many weeks we had been accustomed to see property

abandoned and animals dead or dying. But those scenes
were here doubled and trebled. Horses, mules, and oxen,
suffering from heat, thirst, and starvation, staggered along
until they fell and died on every rod of the way. Both sides
of the road for miles were lined with dead animals and
abandoned wagons.

Answer:

B. Depressing

Step-by-step explanation:

In the excerpt, the narrator is giving information about the previous and new place in which the characters are placed, and the general idea is that they were used to see property abandoned and dead animals (certainly not a very nice image). But, in this new place everything gets worse, and it turns out to be disturbing for the characters.
