Which of the following elements does not contribute to the dreary mood of this short passage from the novel Bleak House by Charl

es Dickens?
"Fog on the Essex marshes, fog on the Kentish heights. Fog creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; fog lying out on the yards, and hovering in the rigging of great ships; fog drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats. Fog in the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners, wheezing by the firesides of their wards; fog in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper; fog cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little 'prentice boy on deck."

Assuming your options are <em>infinitives, repetition, adjectives, and punctuation, </em>the correct answer is infinitives.
The answer is rather simple when you think about it - there are no infinitives in this passage, so obviously they cannot contribute to any mood. There are repetitions (the word fog is constantly being repeated), there are a lot of adjectives, and some punctuation marks - all of which contribute to the dreariness of this excerpt.
