As the scudding day passed overhead the dingy windows glowed and faded in ghostly retrograde. a car passed along the road outside, laboring in the sand, died away. which of the following best describes the mood of these lines? a. dullb. optimisicc. ominousd. frustrated

I believe the best answer to be A. dull as well.

Explanation:

We may define mood as the atmosphere created by an author with the purpose of involving readers. Word choice, description of the setting, imagery, they all help create a certain mood and, consequently, make readers present an emotional response to the atmosphere - happiness, tranquility, fear etc.

The excerpt we are studying here was taken from William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury". Word choice and imagery play a big role in creating this excerpt's mood, which is dull. The author employs words such as "dingy", "ghostly", "faded", "died away". They help evoke a sense of dullness, of boredom and sameness, as if nothing ever happens and, when something does happen, it quickly disappears.

the mood is annoyed. they wish sandy was there do to the job right and since they dont like they way it came out now they are annoyed.
