Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

I will wait for her in the yard that Maggie and I made so clean and wavy yesterday afternoon. A yard like this is more comfortable than most people know. It is not just a yard. It is like an extended living room. When the hard clay is swept clean as a floor and the fine sand around the edges lined with tiny, irregular grooves, anyone can come and sit and look up into the elm tree and wait for the breezes that never come inside the house.

Which description from the excerpt above helps infer the mood of the setting?

A.hard clay is swept clean
B.fine sand around the edges
c.breezes that never come inside the house
d.I will wait for her in the yard

Answer 1

B , because we know that breezes come from outside and we can tell that he/she is thankful .

Answer 2

I would say the correct answer is C. breezes that never come inside the house.
To me, this option makes the excerpt sound somewhat melancholic and sad, as if the narrator would like the breeze to come inside the house and bring some life into their home. The other options don't really have much to do with the mood of the setting.
