The correct answer is D. “escaped,” “free,” “warmed,” and “relaxed”

Explanation:

In a text or passage, the mood refers to the general atmosphere and the emotional features this atmosphere had in a story. This atmosphere is created using multiple elements that include the use of setting, the tone of the text, the use of description and the use of words. In this excerpt, the mood is a mood or atmosphere of relief as the narrator describes a woman that seems to have lived a difficult experience but is finally freed or relief from it. This mood is emphasized by the words "escaped" and "free, free, free!" that show the character is able to recognize the difficult situation is over and the words "warmed" and "relaxed" that shows physically she can finally feel better and she feels relief. Therefore, the words that establish a mood of relief are  “escaped,” “free,” “warmed,” and “relaxed”.

To What Extent is America A Dystopia Project
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

When examining Fahrenheit 451 as a piece of dystopian fiction, a definition for the term "dystopia" is required. Dystopia is often used as an antonym of "utopia," a perfect world often imagined existing in the future. A dystopia, therefore, is a terrible place. You may find it more helpful (and also more accurate) to conceive a dystopian literary tradition, a literary tradition that's created worlds containing reactions against certain ominous social trends and therefore imagines a disastrous future if these trends are not reversed. Most commonly cited as the model of a twentieth-century dystopian novel is Yevgeny Zamiatin's We (1924), which envisions an oppressive but stable social order accomplished only through the complete effacement of the individual. We, which may more properly be called an anti-utopian work rather than a dystopian work, is often cited as the precursor of George Orwell's 1984 (1948), a nightmarish vision of a totalitarian world of the future, similar to one portrayed in We, in which terrorist force maintains order.

We and 1984 are often cited as classic dystopian fictions, along with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), which, contrary to popular belief, has a somewhat different purpose and object of attack than the previously mentioned novels. Huxley's Brave New World has as its target representations of a blind faith in the idea of social and technological progress.

In contrast to dystopian novels like Huxley's and Orwell's, however, Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 does not picture villainous dictators (like Orwell's O'Brien) or corrupt philosopher-kings (like Huxley's Mustapha Mond), although Bradbury's Captain Beatty shares a slight similarity to Mustapha Mond. The crucial difference is that Bradbury's novel does not focus on a ruling elite nor does it portray a higher society, but rather, it portrays the means of oppression and regimentation through the life of an uneducated and complacent, though an ultimately honest and virtuous, working-class hero (Montag). In contrast, Orwell and Huxley choose to portray the lives of petty bureaucrats (Winston Smith and Bernard Marx, respectively), whose alienated lives share similarities to the literary characters of author Franz Kafka (1883-1924).
