Answer:

C) Happiness

Explanation:

The word "felicity" refers to "happiness." In this excerpt, the author wants to show that the person in question went from a feeling of agitation and stress to one of happiness. We can also observe this in the fact that the person suddenly "became calmer and more happy" when he realized that he was actually happy, or that he was in a state of "felicity."

The old-timer had been very serious in laying down the law that no man must travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below. Well, here he was; he had had the accident; he was alone; and he had saved himself. Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone. But it was surprising, the rapidity with which his cheeks and nose were freezing. And he had not thought his fingers could go lifeless in so short a time. Lifeless they were, for he could scarcely make them move together to grip a twig, and they seemed remote from his body and from him.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother had polished twice.

Explanation:

Being naive simply means that one lacks experience and knowledge or critical thinking regarding the world around him.

The narrator, being young and naive, can not fully understand all the difficulties that surrounded building of the bridge. All he can understand is that people said it couldn't be done, but they've done it and he sees that as something special, out of this world experience.

He shares other people's happiness and is satisfied that he and his family are able to walk on that special bridge without being able to comprehend all the effort and obstacles and sacrifices endured for the bridge, that represents national pride, to be built.
