Answer:

B.Mystery and suspense

Explanation:

We can hear the noise made by a shovel while someone , Lester, was digging a grave in the writing. We get more details of this setting; we learn that the grave was deep and it had not been covered by grass yet , which makes us feel as if we were inside it . This atmosphere of mystery and suspense gets sharper when we learn that an old man was being buried but,later, it would be unearthed .
