Read this excerpt from "It's My Constitutional Right!" The officer ordered her to get up. Again Claudette refused. He returned to the driver and explained that as a transit policeman he lacked the authority to make an arrest. The doors closed behind him as he stepped down into the street and the bus pulled away again. One block north, at the intersection of Bibb and Commerce streets, a squad car was waiting. This time, when the Highland Gardens bus door opened, two Montgomery city policemen climbed aboard. Passengers held their breath.

CLAUDETTE: One of them said to the driver in a very angry tone, "Who is it?" The motorman pointed at me. I heard him say, "That's nothing new . . . I've had trouble with that 'thing' before." He called me a "thing." They came to me and stood over me and one said, "Aren't you going to get up?" I said, "No, sir." He shouted "Get up" again. I started crying, but I felt even more defiant. I kept saying over and over, in my high-pitched voice, "It's my constitutional right to sit here as much as that lady. I paid my fare, it's my constitutional right!" I knew I was talking back to a white policeman, but I had had enough.

What differences can be found when contrasting the mood of the third-person account with that of Claudette's first-person account?

A. The mood of the third-person account is less emotional and more matter-of-fact. The mood of Claudette's account is more emotional and heated.
B. The mood of the third-person account is less emotional and more matter-of-fact. The mood of Claudette's account is more emotional and joyous.
C. The mood of the third-person account is more emotional and heated. The mood of Claudette's account is less emotional and more matter-of-fact.
D. The mood of the third-person account is more emotional and dramatic. The mood of Claudette's account is less emotional and more detailed.
