Correct answer: The word choice darkens the tone.
Evidenced by the use of specific language to describe the surroundings.
If the narrator choice was to use generic adjectives, <em>this would make the reader pay less attention and to feel disconnected</em> from the environment.
When an accurate representation of what is happening is offered to the reader, <em>is more natural</em> for him, <em>to get caught up in the narration. </em>
This build-up goes unnoticed, but unconsciously, the reader is setting every aspect of the scene in his mind, following every detail making him wonder if something is about to happen.
Example: the word "flickering", specially reflects this.
"death, desolation, and tyranny"
