Answer:
A) J.R.R. Tolkien was both a great novelist and great scholar.
I personally would say ancient castle in ruins...
My reason for this would be that the office building and the apartment in the city will be modern and won't have a Gothic feel to it...
The mansion in the countryside will be surrounded by green fields and well that scenario doesn't sound very dark and Gothic to me...
And well that castle in ruins will have a spooky side to it as it will be abandoned and especially at night will be a host to a whole range of spooky thoughts and ideas.
I think the answer is C transition
I was just sitting there listening the radio as my step dad mumbled under his breath tapping his thumbs on the steering wheel to the beat of the music. He never has been this irritated in his life. I could see his anger as if it were visible just from his side profile. We've been driving straight for hours its pitch dark all there is open road upon open road. My feet were damp and cold, the uncomfortableness adds to this heavy discomfort in the car. As a kid when I really messed up he never would get this frustrated. I wonder if he knows what I did...no he couldnt its impossible. 20 minutes passed still driving straight foreword. The radio keeps playing the same top 10 songs and the same commercials I've already learned by heart. His hand reached over and turns it off. He starts to say something then stops. "I-I cant believe you and your mother," he says. What what does that mean? What did my mother and I do? I thought.
That's all I have.
