Read this excerpt adapted from Katherine Mansfield's "The Garden Party."

And after all, the weather was ideal. They could not have had a more perfect day for a garden-party if they had ordered it-windless, warm, the sky without a cloud. Only the blue was velled with a haze of light gold, as it is sometimes in early summer. The gardener had been up
since dawn, mowing the lawns and sweeping them, until the grass and the dark flat rosettes where the daisy plants had been seemed to shine.

Which word best describes the mood of the passage?
A.cheerful
B.mysterious
C.anxious
D. playful

Answer:

The word the best describes the mood of the passage is:

A. cheerful

Explanation:

Mood can be described as the way the author feels as well as the way he or she makes readers feel. This excerpt of "The Garden Party", by Katherine Mansfield, conveys a cheerful mood. The description of the day and of the garden is exuberant. Words such as "warm", "light gold", and "shine" all help convey this bubbly, joyous feeling. Just think of the opposite, of a day that is described as dull, gray, and cloudy. The feeling conveyed would be of melancholy, the opposite of cheerful.

. Three hundred years after the Arawaks first arrived on St. Maarten, in the
1300s, they were defeated and forced to abandon the island by a hostile tribe of Indians originating in
South America. This new tribe was called the Carib. The Caribbean Sea was named after them. Unlike
the Arawaks, they had no permanent chiefs or leaders
, except in times of strife. And they were
extremely warlike. Worse, they were cannibalistic, eating
the enemy warriors they captured. In fact,
the very word cannibal comes from the Spanish name for the Carib Indians.
The Spanish arrived in the fifteenth century, and, unfortunately, they carried diseases to which
the Indians had no immunity. Many Indians succumbed to common European illnesses; others died
from the hard labor forced upon them.

13 Meanwhile, down below in the First Class dining saloon on D Deck, four other members of the Titanic's crew were sitting around one of the tables. The last diner had long since departed, and now the big white Jacobean room was empty except for this single group. They were dining-saloon stewards, indulging in the time-honored pastime of all stewards off duty—they were gossiping about their passengers.
14 Then, as they sat there talking, a faint grinding jar seemed to come from somewhere deep inside the ship. It was not much, but enough to break the conversation and rattle the silver that was set for breakfast next morning.
15 Steward James Johnson felt he knew just what it was. He recognized the kind of shudder a ship gives when she drops a propeller blade, and he knew this sort of mishap meant a trip back to the Harland & Wolff Shipyard at Belfast—with plenty of free time to enjoy the hospitality of the port.
16 Somebody near him agreed and sang out cheerfully, "Another Belfast trip!"
17 In the galley just to the stern, Chief Night Baker Walter Belford was making rolls for the following day. (The honor of baking fancy pastry was reserved for the day shift.) When the jolt came, it impressed Belford more strongly than Steward Johnson—perhaps because a pan of new rolls clattered off the top of the oven and scattered about the floor.

D. Four off-duty stewards sat in the dining saloon and gossiped about passengers, a favorite pastime of off-duty stewards. A weak shudder interrupted their conversation and disturbed the silverware on the table. Steward James Johnson thought that the shudder was a dropped propeller blade. He knew that they would return to the Harland & Wolff Shipyard in Belfast and have time to enjoy themselves. This made one of the stewards happy, and he shouted, “Another Belfast trip!”
