PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

The story is about the tragedy of Omayra Sanchez, the real victim of earthquake. The excerpt follows the introduction of the story when people find the victim and begins with the description what happened before. The paragraph tells about the warning of geologist and people's disdain when the danger presents itself. Therefore, the setting has such a menacing atmosphere. The correct answer is C.

Answer 2

I would say the mood is quite menacing, First the speaker states that the roar announced "the end of the world", which is about as frightening a topic as there is. Also the descriptive picture after brings to mind being buried alive.
