Answer:

The answer is: letter A, Peacefulness

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary Shelley is the author of the book entitled, "Frankenstein." The story of the book centers on "Victor Frankenstein," a scientist and his monster creation. This creation of his, later on, asked for a female companion by threatening him. Victor, reluctantly, agreed on this under the monitoring of the creature. In the end of the story, Victor and his men in the ship were trapped in ice.

While Victor was on his journey to Geneva after his brother (William Frankenstein) died, he spoke in the passage above, "I contemplated the lake; the waters were placed; all around was calm, and the snowy mountains, 'the palaces of nature,' were not changed." This made him think how much nature brings peace to his soul that even after turmoil, he felt comforted by nature. Although he dreads to go back, the thought of the calm nature made him continue his journey.

Thus, this explains the answer, "Peacefulness."
