Answer:
A. It has a comma splice and needs a conjunction.
Explanation:
Depending on to whom you listen, automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) will either solve all our problems or end the human race. Sometime in the near future, machine intelligence is predicted to surpass human intelligence, a point in time known as “the singularity.” Whether the rise of the machines is an existential threat to mankind or not, I believe that there is a more mundane issue: robots are currently being used to automate production.
The excerpt from this story describes a scene that is dark and kind of depressing, huh? "Decayed inn", "dingy sign", the sign was "dark and indecipherable...black" and not exactly happy and bright.
Your first option suggests that this is a flashback to how the man died. There is no mention in this piece of how a person died or that this is a flashback.
While this excerpt certainly has a dark tone and feel, there doesn't seem to be much humor in it.
The mood of this story certainly feels dark and gloomy. The description of the inn, sky, and background can give the reader a mental image of a someplace that isn't really friendly or inviting.
The final option suggests mistrust or difficulties that characters are having. This paragraph does not mention the feelings of characters, but more focuses on the setting.
The best option for this question would be the third one, to reinforce the dark and somber mood of the story.
