Question 4 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

How are the moods of "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" and "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" different?

Answer
A
The former has an anxious mood, while the latter has a joyful mood.
B
The former has a serious mood, while the latter has a lighter mood.
C
The former has an angry mood, while the latter has a celebratory mood.
D
The former has a tense mood, while the latter has a suspenseful mood.

Explanation

“Because I Could Not Stop for Death” treats death and eternity in a calm, serious, reflective way. “Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church” has a lighter, more playful mood as the speaker describes worshipping in nature instead of attending a church service. So the former is serious, while the latter is lighter.
