<span>Oedipus steps out of the royal palace of Thebes and is greeted by a procession of priests, who are in turn surrounded by the impoverished and sorrowful citizens of Thebes. The citizens carry branches wrapped in wool, which they offer to the gods as gifts. Thebes has been struck by a plague, the citizens are dying, and no one knows how to put an end to it. Oedipus asks a priest why the citizens have gathered around the palace. The priest responds that the city is dying and asks the king to save Thebes. Oedipus replies that he sees and understands the terrible fate of Thebes, and that no one is more sorrowful than he. He has sent Creon, his brother-in-law and fellow ruler, to the Delphic oracle to find out how to stop the plague. Just then, Creon arrives, and Oedipus asks what the oracle has said. Creon asks Oedipus if he wants to hear the news in private, but Oedipus insists that all the citizens hear. Creon then tells what he has learned from the god Apollo, who spoke through the oracle: the murderer of Laius, who ruled Thebes before Oedipus, is in Thebes. He must be driven out in order for the plague to end.</span>

The feeling or emotional quality that a poem evokes is called its _____.
shutvik [7]

The correct answer is D. Mood

Explanation:

In literature, including poetry, the mood refers to the atmosphere created by the author or the narrator through the election of words, the setting, the theme, and other literary elements. Additionally, this atmosphere evokes specific feelings, emotions, reactions, and thoughts on the reader. In the case of poems, the mood or atmosphere that evoke certain feelings or emotions is prevalent during all the poem in most cases, but in longer literary works such as novels the mood changes with the actions of the characters and the setting of the story. Examples of mood include words related to feelings such as sad, serious, dark or peaceful. Considering the previous ideas it can be concluded the feeling or emotional quality that a poem evokes or creates on the readers is called "mood".
