Answer: The house was unusually dark for early evening.
Explanation: You see, The house will be unusually dark for early evening is future tense and they're not describing the future. The house has been unusually dark for early evening. That's present tense which the story isn't in (example: . My brother and I<u> </u><u>pulled</u> into the driveway. That's past tense thus meaning the story is past tense.)
