Is there a story im confused i cant help answer.
The answer that you are looking for should be a frame story.
The given line above is actually made by Francis Pharcellus Church which is taken from "<span>Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus". And based on this line, I can say that the emotion that the author appeals here is awe and wonder in the unknown. The best answer to this would be option B. Hope this helps.</span>
