<span>Shelley explains this in the preface of the book, stating that, although the story is borne from tales of the imagination and impossible to happen in real life, it is real in the emotions and human passions it elicits from the readers.</span>

Answer:

In the preface of the novel "Frankenstein", Mary Shelley mentions that the story that is going to be unfold is not "mere tale of spectres or enchantment" because the story touches the aspects of human nature and conditions.

Explanation:

Frankenstein is a Gothic novel written by Mary Shelley. The story is about young scientist, Victor Frankenstein. In an unorthodox scientific experiment, Frankenstein creates a sapient creature or monster.

In her preface, Mary tells her reader that the story that she is going to tell is not about supernatural terror, because it is a story <em>"of human passions more comprehensive and commanding". </em>

A parallel sentence mentions the same grammatical expression twice. I would go with "D". 'Passed' and 'Demonstrated' are both past tense words that express the same past tense grammatical idea.

It's always important to understand the difference between tone and mood.
I like to say that tone is how the author feels about the work. You can tell how the author feels by the word choices (diction) he or she makes.
Mood is a more personal reaction. How does the work make you feel?
If I am looking for what the tone of this poem is, I'd look at words like "diverged" and "sorry" in the first stanza and the phrase "wanted wear" in the second stanza and the lines "I doubted if I should ever come back" and "I shall be telling this with a sigh" in stanzas three and four. I might make the conclusion that the tone of this poem is one of longing.
As far as the mood goes, you might end up using the same lines and word choices as in the paragraph above. But the mood is going to be a different answer. How do you feel as a reader? Sad? Somber? Hopeful? Anxious?
As a reader, you are never sure the poem's speaker made the right choice. So that's why the mood is left up to you.
