Question 14 • 2026-2027_MDCPS_1001375_English 3 B-CR
The passage creates a tense mood by describing the dangerous storm, the power outage, and the broadcaster’s urgent warning to take cover. These details make the situation feel frightening and full of danger. “Angry” doesn’t fit because the passage describes no anger, and “threatening” describes the storm more than the overall mood.
