The expression was that of agony—the agony of intense bodily pain; but a menace scowled upon the brow, and a few sprinklings of

blood added to its ghastliness. Yet it was not all these characteristics—it was some horror of the mind, some inscrutable antipathy awakened by this picture, which harrowed up my feelings.

The answer to the question is option 2: The word choice darkens the tone. The excerpt above is from <span>"The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture." And based on this excerpt, the technique being used by the author here is the specific use of word choice in order to create the effect of a darker, gothic and mysterious tone. </span>

Which feature most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an old English poem ?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The feature that most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an Old English poem is alliteration

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the reference text, here is the text:

Read the passage from "A Shield."

A lonely warrior,I am wounded with iron,

Scarred with sword-points,sated with battle-play,

Weary of weapons.I have witnessed much fighting,

Much stubborn strife.

First of all, we need to take in consideration that alliteration is the principal literary device Old English poetry to bind the words, this lines have several examples of this technique such as "wounded with" or "stubborn strife", the other options are not as representative of old English poetry as this literary device.
