Question 20 • IC English 11 - Deering

Read the excerpt from "The Lady Maid's Bell."To my astonishment, Mrs. Blinder went white, and gave my hand a kind of squeeze. "Don't do that, my dear," said she, trembling-like. "To tell you the truth, that was Emma Saxon's room, and my mistress has kept it closed ever since her death." In this scene, the words “went white” and “trembling-like” create a sense of

Answer
A
confusion.
B
determination.
C
anger.
D
suspense.

Explanation

The phrases “went white” and “trembling-like” show that Mrs. Blinder is frightened or deeply unsettled. Her reaction to learning that the room belonged to someone who died makes the scene feel tense and mysterious. Therefore, the words create a sense of suspense, not confusion, determination, or anger.
