A. <span>It creates a melancholy mood that reflects the narrator’s feelings.
The imagery described in this paragraph is very melancholy, which seems to support the narrator's feelings.
He uses phrases like "patches of snow and earth" and "spotty clouds" which give the image of incompleteness, something not quite full.
He also uses images of darkness, "black trees" and "the stars were out" which support the unhappiness of the narrator's mood. </span>
Explanation:
One day, the Moon said, "I do not like to be the Moon. I wish I were a star or a flower, but alas! I am only the Moon and no one likes me. If could only be a flower and grow in a garden, people would come to see me, but I am only the Moon and no one honors me." Hmm this one?
(D) That Leila is shocked at what the driver of the convertible did
Incredulous is defined as being "unwilling to admit or accept what is offered as true". If we analyze the sentence carefully, we can sort of make out how she feels, but if we completely remove the word from the sentence and input something we can understand a little easier, such as:
<em>"...</em><u><em>incredibly surprised</em></u><em> that he would stop traffic just to yell at another driver behind him."</em>
We can see that it fits right in.
Lastly, look at the word itself. It has a lot in common with "incredible" which is a much more commonly used word, knowing that it means "too improbably to be believed". This is one of the best methods for finding out the meaning to words we don't know. It won't be perfect 100% of the time, but in most cases it works.
Well, we can eliminate B because there are very few plays where they read out the stage directions. This play just by reading it wouldn't be one of them. So, B is now eliminated.
C can be eliminated too. The volume seems to stay calm throughout all of the passage.
D I feel we can eliminate too.
Therefore A is your best answer.
Hope this helps!
