Read the excerpt from "Home Front Diary." I was helping Mom clean the dishes from Sunday dinner, and Dad had the radio tuned in
to "The Great Inspector" as usual. Midway through the program the announcer broke in with the news that Pearl Harbor had been attacked, and I felt my heart sink to my shoes. It was like time stopped as I stood there staring at the soap bubbles. I don't even remember how the rest of the cleanup got finished. Which word best describes the mood of this excerpt? A.anticipation B.disbelief C.joy D.fear
The excerpt's mood during the story is B, disbelief. The reason that this is disbelief is because the main character, after hearing what had happened, is shocked because of the news and basically stands still.
It's not A because the main character is not expecting the news to happen, and it's not C because the main character shows no joy after finding out what had happened. Lastly, it's not fear because the main character portrays no signs of fear, only shock.
