25 points
To be above; ahead
To be confused; lost
To look down; below
To feel gloomy

Answer 1

To be above; ahead

Step-by-step explanation:

To be above; ahead – this is the correct answer. Overhead means being up, literally above the head. It is used when something is above other objects. In this sentence, the cloud is above the head level of the narrator; the narrator is describing the cloud above him as black and stormy.

To be confused; lost – this is not the correct answer. The word overhead has nothing to do with confusion.

To look down; below – this is not the correct answer. Overhead does not mean looking down, but simply being up.

To feel gloomy – this is not the right answer. Overhead is not the word referring to the emotional state.
