Answer: Irony

Irony refers to a rhetorical device in which what appears to be the case is in fact dramatically different from the reality. In this case, both Jim and Della believed themselves to be giving the perfect gift to the other person, not knowing that the other person was giving away the thing that was necessary for the gifts to work. This is an example of irony.

Excerpt from "The Bells"
Alex Ar [27]
The answer is B. "Frightened."

You can draw the conclusion that the author is trying to communicate a frightened tone by the diction of the stanza. The following line of the text states: "In the silence of the night, How we shiver with affright..." This is a very telling detail that supports the idea that the author's tone was meant to be frightening.
