It isnt dark or sunny, because it clearly states "hidden in mist and cloud". So for a while i was between misty and cloudy. However I believe it is misty, because cloudy normally means that the sky is clouded, and in the passage it says that it is hidden. Now, i dont know about you, but clouds in the sky have never hidden anything but the sun from me. I think it means that it was as if there was a cloud on earth and that the cloud of mist hid where the men of winter live. Therefore, I believe the answer is the second choice, misty. Hope that helps! Please vote this answer the branliest, too! :)
The answer to the question is D because it uses a simile.
I feel like it's implying that, Britannia is in a very very weary deep thought process.
I mean, droops can be referred to weary, and pensive means thought, or a deep thought.
However, weary could be tired. This is completely an assumption.
