Answer:
D. Unemotional
Explanation:
Although the statements the narrator is making may evoke emotions within the reader and make them feel as if human race were in danger as they may realize that they are being watched by "minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic", and who represent a threat to human's society as they " regarded this earth with envious eyes", the narrator expresses the idea in a very neutral and unemotional way. There is no sign in the text that he or she is angry, panicked nor mysterious (he or she is giving many details).
Even though it is a little bit complicated to distinguish the different options, these are the answers:
1. Oliver Cromwell was Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1653 until his death (1658).
2. King Charles I was executed by Puritans in January 1649, since he rejected the demand of the English Parliament for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.
3. The Commonwealth of England was created after the end of the Second Civil War and the execution of Charles I, in 1649, and it lasted until 1660. During that time, England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland were ruled as a republic.
4. Theaters in London closed between 1642 and 1660.
5. The office of the Lord Protector was created in 1653.
6. The English Civil Wars (there were three of them in this period) took place between 1642 and 1651. The First Civil War took place between 1642 and 1646. It was a conflict between supporters of the monarchy of Charles I and those who rejected it.
I would say the editing phase, as I have done a lot of writing and multiple people around me refer it as that, but the revising stage also covers editing, which doesn't make much sense. I guess that it depends on what your class taught you. Sorry if this doesn't help you, but my best answer would be the editing, since it covers going back through a paper to check for errors. Do you know what the exact definition of "editing" and "revising" is and could you get back to me with that?
