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.

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer: C: courage helps people survive in danger

Explanation:

The question requires choosing the option that best states the theme of an excerpt from The King of Mazy May, by Jack London. In the excerpt, Walt Masters courageously escapes his pursuers by attacking them with his whip and pushing their wheel dog, which makes "courage helps people survive in danger" the best possible description for the theme. There are no references to honesty nor beauty coming from within. Friendship, trust, and patience are not present in the excerpt either.
