<span>In the context of this passage (or any other passage, for that matter), the phrase a rule of thumb is best understood to mean a rule that usually works. The correct answer is D. It is a principle that is not necessarily always reliable, but works most of the time. Unfortunately, the phrase comes from domestic violence, where it was stated that a man could beat his wife as long as the stick he used for beating her wasn't thicker than his thumb. </span>

Answer:

It produces shivers down the spine, or a feeling of unease.

Explanation:

The narrator hasn't said anything in this excerpt that makes them hard to believe, or unreliable. This excerpt is not particularly optimistic either. There is no blood and gore, but the narrator is clearly made uncomfortable by the painting. So the excerpt produces shivers down the spine, or a feeling of unease.
