Question

Read this excerpt from Margaret memoir: as we advanced, the scenes became more dreadful. The h at of the day increased, and the road became heavy with deep sand. The dead animals seemed to become at every step of the way more numerous. They lay so thick on the ground that the carcasses, If placed together, would have reached across many miles of that desert. The stench arising was continuous and terrible.

What is the mood of this excerpt?
A. Grammatical
B. Tired
C. Horrifying
D. Frustrating

Answer 1

C. Horrifying

Answer 2

C. Horrifying

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt mentions how the place was getting darker and horrible as they moved on, as well it mentions the road got harder to go through because of the heavy sand. It states that there were many dead animals already rotten (which is the main reason why the mood is horrifying) and at the end, it mentions how terrible the experience was. Therefore, the correct answer is option c.
