C .The informal language in "blue with cold" and "whizzing through" creates a miserable tone, making the passage sound depressing.

Throughout the passage the speaker describes the misery the people are enduring. He says, "how we shivered", "blue with cold", and "the minutes stretched" all add to this miserable tone. We don't know what is happening, but we are not left in suspense nor do things feel threatening or anxious. The simple informal statements with vivid descriptions of the elements add to the depressing feel of the passage.

Difference between Beryl Stapleton and Laura Lyons in the Hound of the Baskervilles. There should be atleast 5 points.
9966 [12]

Answer:

LAURA LYONS

Laura Lyons is a typist in the nearby town of Coombe Tracey. An impetuous young woman, she soon found herself exiled from her family after marrying a man possibly because she became pregnant out of wedlock. Her husband soon deserted her, leaving Laura to make a living in whatever way she could. Lyons depends on the generosity of others, including Sir Charles Baskerville. Jack Stapleton preys on Laura’s precarious position in society, and her friendship with Charles Baskerville, to enable his murderous plans against Sir Charles.

BERYL STAPLETON

Beryl Stapleton is Jack Stapleton’s wife, although Jack claims to Dr. Mortimer, Sir Charles Baskerville, Sir Henry Baskerville, Laura Lyons, Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes, and others that Beryl is his sister. Although Jack physically abuses Beryl, she remains mostly obedient to him, even allowing Sir Charles to court her at her husband’s request. However, sensing the danger that Sir Charles Baskerville is in, she is quick to try to warn him off of Baskerville Hall, and quick to turn on Jack when Holmes discovers the murderous plot. Beryl is widely known for her beauty, which nearly everyone remarks upon.
