Question

a writer uses exposition to describe the setting of the story, an empty mansion that is dark and foreboding. then he introduces the reader to the two main characters, a couple who are young and naïve. what emotion is the author most likely trying to create in the reader through this exposition? a. anxiety b. relief c. anger d. calm

Explanation:

The setting of a dark and foreboding mansion, along with naive main - characters, creates a sense of unease. Anxiety is a feeling of unease or worry. Relief would be the opposite of what's created here. Anger isn't suggested by the description, and calm is also not in line with the foreboding setting.

Answer:

A. Anxiety
