Answer:

D.

Explanation:

'Ten Days In A Madhouse' is a book written by Nellie Bly about her experience in madhouse while she was there on an undercover assignment. Nellie Bly spent ten days in Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island and writes about brutuality and cruelity in the asylum.

In Chapter 4, when Nellie was presented in the court before judge, she feared the reporters because she herself was one of them. She feared because these reporters coulde reveal her true identity before everyone.

<em>'I got very much frightened at this, for if there is any one who can ferret out a mystery it is a reporter. I felt that I would rather face a mass of expert doctors, policemen, and detectives </em><u><em>than two bright specimens of my craft</em></u><em>,...'</em>

Read the following passage: “I gazed at these marvels in profound silence. Words were utterly wanting to indicate the sensations
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct word is “gazed”. The verb gaze is used to describe the action of looking / staring at something for a long period of time – be it because that something being watched is impressive or simply because the watcher is distracted and pensive.  In the passage, the word gaze does NOT impact the mood.

What really impacts the mood in the passage are the other words – marvels, profound, wonder, mysterious, spectacle and phenomena – since their meaning convey an idea of something unnatural, exciting and incredible happening before the eyes of the narrator.

The passage was taken from the book <em>A Journey to the Centre of the Earth</em> by Julio Verne. The narrator is struggling to describe his sensations when he finds a gigantic cavern and the Central Sea below the surface of the Earth.
