Read the excerpt from “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the question that follows. Presently I heard a slight groan, and I knew it was the groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of pain or of grief—oh, no!—it was the low stifled sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe. I knew the sound well. Many a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept, it has welled up from my own bosom, deepening, with its dreadful echo, the terrors that distracted me. I say I knew it well. I knew what the old man felt, and pitied him, although I chuckled at
heart. Which mood is created by the author’s word choice in this excerpt? A. anger B. sorrow C. anxiety and fear D. amazement @bubbles-are-cool.
