The author most likely includes words such as “gloomy” and “ponderous” to impart a melancholy mood, as expressed in option A and further explained below.

<h3>What is mood?</h3>

In literature, authors can choose certain words in order to create an atmosphere that will evoke certain feelings or sensations in readers. That atmosphere is known as mood. Examples of mood are:

  • Joyful

In the excerpt from "The Scarlet Letter" that we are analyzing here, the use of words and phrases such as "darker aspect,” “beetle-browed,” “gloomy,” and “ponderous” help create a melancholy mood, that is, a feeling of sadness.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.

The complete question with the answer choices is the following:

Answer:

1)

y =  \frac{ - 2}{3} x - 6

2) slope is -2/3

Explanation:

1)

10x + 15y =  - 90 \\ 15y =  - 10x - 90 \\ y =  \frac{ - 10}{15} x -  \frac{90}{15}  \\ y  =  \frac{ - 2}{3} x - 6 \\ answer

2)

when any equation is written as

y = mx + c then m is the slope.

above we have calculated that

y =  \frac{ - 2}{3} x - 6

which is in the form of

y = mx + c

where m is -2/3 and c is -6

thus slope is m = -2/3
