Question 13 • 130CR English 3

I had so worked upon my imagination as really to believe that about the whole mansion and domain there hung an atmosphere peculiar to themselves and their immediate vicinity -- an atmosphere which had no affinity with the air of heaven, but which had reeked up from the decayed trees, and the gray wall, and the silent tarn -- a pestilent and mystic vapor.

Answer
H
He seems unsettled and paranoid.
H
He seems sensitive and spiritual.
H
He seems creative and fanciful.
H
He seems frustrated and angry.

Explanation

The narrator describes the mansion’s surroundings as producing a “pestilent and mystic vapor,” an eerie atmosphere that seems threatening and unnatural. The phrase “I had so worked upon my imagination” also suggests that fear is shaping how he perceives the place. This makes him seem unsettled and paranoid, rather than simply creative or angry.
