Read these two passages from "the yellow wallpaper
and she is all the time trying to climb through. but nobody
could climb through that pattern - it strangles so i think
that is why it has so many heads.
but here i can creep smoothly on the floor, and my
shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so i
cannot lose my way.
both passages have a(n) tone

a. comedic
b. inspiring
c. disturbing
d. romantic
