Read the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl.“The van Daans are going with us. There will be seven of us altogether.” Silence. We couldn't speak. The thought of Father off visiting someone in the Jewish Hospital and completely unaware of what was happening, the long wait for Mother, the heat, the suspense – all this reduced us to silence.Which word best describes the mood of this excerpt?

Answer
A
tense
B
excited
C
angry
D
calm

Explanation

The mood is tense because the characters are waiting anxiously and feel suspense about what is happening. The excerpt mentions a long wait, heat, and their silence, all of which create a sense of nervous uncertainty. “Excited” suggests eager happiness, while “calm” and “angry” do not fit the scene.
