Explanation:

To determine which quote supports a tense/uneasy mood, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "Everything seems balanced on the edge of fate" implies a precarious situation but is more about balance than direct tension.
• Option b: "Eyes that look fast, a quick, nervous glance" uses words like "nervous" which directly conveys unease and tension, matching the mood.
• Option c: "The moon watches from far in the sky" is a calm, observational description, not tense.
