d. peaceful

Respuesta :

A. suspenseful. The writer sounds as though he is in distress and you can tell that by looking at words like "threats" and phrases like "spears thirsting to kill". Hope I helped!! Brainliest answer please ^-^

The answer is A: suspenseful.

The passage above, taken from Sophocles´ Antigone, presents a suspenseful mood by speaking of a character that is roaming the place with what seems to be obscure or violent objectives, with arms raised and ready to attack and engage in battle. These details certainly depict a suspenseful mood since the violent actions have not yet taken place but the threat that they will is eminent.
