HELP WITH ENGLISH!!!

Answer 1

She writes "looking as if we were all going to our graves the next morning". 
This idiom is quite dark. I would say C. 
Her family is probably terrified.

Answer 2

Answer: C. To describe the family's dread before traveling into the unknown.

The idiom that Margaret Frink uses in this excerpt tells us that the family looked as if they were "going to their graves" the next morning. This shows that the family was scared or worried about something, and this feeling was noticeable. Therefore, the best option is C, as the idiom describes the family's dread before travelling into the unknown.
