Answer 1

Explanation:

From Paragraph 4, the elements present are:

A. Element 8 - Words designed to evoke images of gloom and doom. Words like "dark," "stagnant," "abodes," "half-drowned," and "half-rotting" create a sense of gloom and decay.

B. Element 6 - Supernatural events: ghosts, unexplained sounds, is not present in the paragraph. There are no mentions of supernatural events.

C. Element 5 - Highly charged emotional states like terror, the brink of insanity, anger, are not explicitly present in the paragraph. While it describes a gloomy and somewhat eerie environment with dark pools and creatures, it doesn't mention highly charged emotional states.
