Answer:

This is an excerpt from <em>“The awakening”</em> by Kate Chopin. The words that establish the mood the best are “walk to and fro”, “tore”, “rolled” and “flung”.

Explanation:

The mood found in this excerpt is frustration. By using the expression “walk to and fro”, the author reveals the exasperation of the woman. Also, the words tore, rolled and flung, evidence that the woman was using the handkerchief to express her discontent.
