Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.” He went down in the darkness, and felt his way to the parlour, and then to the mantelpiece. The talisman was in its place, and a horrible fear that the unspoken wish might bring his mutilated son before him ere he could escape from the room seized upon him, and he caught his breath as he found that he had lost the direction of the door. His brow cold with sweat, he felt his way round the table, and groped along the wall until he found himself in the small passage with the unwholesome thing in his hand. Even his wife's face seemed changed as he entered the room. It was white and expectant, and to his fears seemed to have an unnatural look upon it. He was afraid of her. What is the mood of the excerpt? terrified angry sorrowful disgusted

We can define mood as the atmosphere created by an author in order to evoke certain feelings and emotions from his readers. To do so, diction, imagery, and setting are very useful.

The mood is immediately revealed by the words "horrible fear." However, even if the author did not use those words, we would be able to grasp the mood from the characters' actions and thoughts.

Mr. White is drenched in cold sweat and so utterly disoriented that he misses the door. His wife too changes when he brings the magical paw with him.

With all the information above in mind, we can easily choose letter A as the one that best describes the mood in the excerpt: terrified.
