Answer: B. Wells calls it "The Thing" to give readers the impression that it's almost too terrible to name or describe.
By naming this object "The Thing," Wells gives readers the idea that this object is something so horrible it cannot be named. It also gives it an air of mystery by not being able to describe it in terms familiar to the reader. This increases the sense of anxiety and fear the reader feels, which reflects the feelings of the characters in the novel.
The eerie mood is created initially because of the subject matter of the poem. The character of Death is introduced in the first stanza, and since the 'd' is capitalized, it's clear that Dickinson is personifying death into an actual person. Thinking about Death in this way, as someone who stops to pick you up and having to get into his carriage to take the ride away from life is creepy in itself. This eeriness is supported when she uses the line "The dews grew quivering and chill." The words quivering and chill help to strengthen the eeriness that the subject matter creates. She also refers to the setting sun, which again helps give the poem an overall spooky feeling.
