The Fowl in the Pot by Stanley J. Weyman (excerpt) Arriving at a house, which, if we might judge in the darkness, seemed to be o

f rather greater pretensions than its fellows, our guide stopped, and whispered to us to mount some steps to a raised wooden gallery, which intervened between the lane and the doorway. On this, besides the door, a couple of unglazed windows looked out. The shutter of one was ajar, and showed us a large, bare room, lighted by a couple of rushlights. Directing us to place ourselves close to this shutter, the innkeeper knocked at the door in a peculiar fashion, and almost immediately entered, going at once into the lighted room. Peering cautiously through the window we were surprised to find that the only person within, save the newcomer, was a young woman, who, crouching over a smoldering fire, was crooning a lullaby while she attended to a large black pot. Which word best describes the tone of the excerpt? A. troubled B. mysterious C. frustrated D. mocking

Answer:

B. mysterious

Explanation:

The word that best describes the tone of the excerpt is that it was mysterious.

According to the excerpt of <em>The Fowl In The Pot </em>by Stanley J. Weyman, a group of people arrived at a certain house at night and the house seemed "to be of rather greater pretensions".

Also, their guide was whispering to them as if there was something malevolent lurking around. The guide also proceeded to knock at the door "in a peculiar fashion"  and when the group of people looked into the house, they saw a young woman who was bent over a fire and "crooning a lullaby while attending to a large black pot".
