what is the effect of the word grave in this sentence?
the word grave evokes a sense of
and builds
around the way captain nemo feels about the avenger
(options for the first blank: gloom; options for the second blank: frustration, excitement, suspicion, tension)

Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze the context. The word "grave" in the sentence "Already we were ascending, fast leaving the grave of the old Avenger" likely relates to a place of burial (a tomb or burial site). Now, for the second part, we need to see which emotion the word "grave" evokes. "Tension" fits as the situation around Captain Nemo and the Avenger likely creates a tense atmosphere. Among the options, "tension" is the most appropriate as "frustration" (feeling annoyed), "excitement" (enthusiasm), and "suspicion" (distrust) don't align as well with the context of leaving a grave (burial site) and the mood around Captain Nemo's feelings about the Avenger.

Answer:

tension
