Question

Everybody in the room was silent as my grandmother, walking unsteadily, brought my birthday cake from the darkened kitchen. The family members gathered in the cramped room began singing “Happy Birthday.” They were interrupted by a thunderclap that was followed by a cold breeze that came in through the open window. The breeze blew out 3 of the 13 candles on the cake. As they started singing for the second time, I shivered and watched the distorted shadows cast on the walls by the flickering candles.

Which word best describes the mood of this story?

reverent
sarcastic
amused
gloomy

Answer 1

I'm thinking
C. Gloomy

Answer 2

It is gloomy. :)

Answer 3

Because she came from the dark kitchen and it also said that it was cramped

Answer 4

Reverent means feeling, exhibiting, or characterized by reverence; deeply respectful: a reverent greeting. And it is not the other two. Yes those words describe the tone and in turn give us a central idea.

Answer 5

thanx again

Answer 6

Sure thing :)
