what is the mood of the passage?
○ calm and relaxed
○ anxious and terrifying
○ silly and lighthearted
○ lonely and sad

Explanation:

The passage describes a faceless figure that haunts a lawyer all night, acts violently (crushing a child), and disturbs his sleep/dreams. These elements create a sense of unease and fear, matching the "anxious and terrifying" mood. Other options do not fit: the text is not calm, silly, or focused on loneliness/sadness.

Answer:

anxious and terrifying
