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.

This is a very telling detail that supports the idea that the author's tone was meant to be frightening.
Answer: 24, 48, and 72.
Explanation: All three of these number can be found if you multiple a number by 6 or 8.
6 times 4 = 24 and 8 times 3 = 24
8 times 6 = 48
8 times 9 = 72 and 6 times 12 = 72
