Question

Help!!!
Read this excerpt from the novel. I liked the hush, the gloom, the quaintness of these retreats in the day; but I by no means coveted a night's repose on one of those wide and heavy beds: shut in, some of them, with doors of oak; shaded, others, with wrought English old hangings crusted with thick work, portraying effigies of strange flowers, and stranger birds, and strangest human beings, —all which would have looked strange, indeed, by the pallid gleam of moonlight. Which word best describes the mood of this excerpt?
A. eerie
B. somber <--?
C. welcoming
D. nostalgic

Answer 8

Read the excerpt, and then answer the question.

What my sensations were, no language can describe; but, just as
they all rose, stifling my breath and constricting my throat, a girl came
up and passed me: in passing, she lifted her eyes. What a strange
light inspired them! What an extraordinary sensation that ray sent
through me! How the new feeling bore me up! It was as if a martyr, a
hero, had passed a slave or victim, and imparted strength in the
transit.
Which word does not contribute to the excerpt's liberating mood?

A. extraordinary
B. stifling
C. inspired
D. lifted <---?
