The answer is C. the death of a maiden helped create it
Sara Sees Red? just had that test. Tom Sawyer, Stone Fox, Sara Sees Red, ect.
First she that it was quiet and she thought she was the only one there, but when the women appeared, it seemed mysterious/spooky/eerie.
The best choice would be C. She is arrogant. Her tone in which she speaks sounds snobby in a way. We can’t assume that she is dishonest she possibly is a genius. I don’t think she is nervous for she speaks very boldly. Her statements never showed in any way how genius she was. So yes C is the best choice.
I guess that what is suggested about Lady of Shalott's love towards Sir Lancelot is that her love is impossible. She was cursed not to look at the city below her, yet she did and fell in love with Sir Lancelot, although she knew she could never be with him because of the curse. Her love is thus impossible, and even before she got to meet the love of her life, she died because their romance was doomed to fail even before it began.
The tone would be determined by the kind of people the author is writing for. A story for children is going to have a different tone than a graduate thesis even if they are on the same topic.
Hope that helps.
