Answer:

D. He

Explanation:

<em>The participle phrase is here modifying the subject "he". It assists in the amendment of the gerund phrase i.e. 'his laughing action" where the participle phrase("he shook his head and said") acts as an adjective to revamp or modify the previous idea.</em> As we know that adjectives always function as a transformer of a noun or pronoun and thus adds to meaning and description to the sentence which best illustrates the use of participle phrase here.<em> Thus, we could conclude that here the participle phrase modifies the pronoun "he".</em>

<span>The correct asnwer is B, helplessness.

The repetition of the phrase "still is sitting" shows that the speaker is helpless to get the Raven to leave. Just as the speaker cannot make the Raven leave him, he is also unable to get over his grief at losing his true love. He will forever be grieving, and the Raven will forever sit above his chamber door.

Therefore, the mood created in this scene is one of helplessness. </span>
