Answer:
<h3>it had such a great appeal that drove her crazy.</h3><h3 />
Explanation:
The author uses the phrase "killing power" to describe the eyes of her secret love because<u> it had such a great appeal that drove her crazy</u>. It made her feel <u>light-headed and dizzy making her almost fall into the ground.</u>
The author always felt that her secret lover had the most mesmerizing eyes and when he looked straight across the room and into her eyes, she became <u>breathless. </u>
Thus, the phrase "killing power" helps in expressing how she felt when her secret lover looked straight into her eyes.
It is chilling, the speculation and wonder about what was really happening is finally realized. Mrs. Schachter had disturbed the train care with what appeared to be ravings from a lunatic about a hellish scenario to come. And finally here it was, the unknown reality, becoming a known and nightmarish hell.
