Read the excerpt from The Faerie Queene

The morrow next gan early to appear, That Titan rose to run his daily race; But early ere the morrow next gan rear Out of the sea fair Titan’s dewy face, Up rose the gentle virgin from her place, And looked all about, if she might spy Her loved knight to move his manly pace: For she had great doubt of his safety, Since late she saw him fall before his enemy.
Which response most accurately explains how the author uses the setting described in the excerpt to create a certain tone?

a)The phrase “That Titan rose to run his daily race” creates a competitive tone, since today there will be a race.

b) The description “Out of the sea fair Titan’s dewy face” creates a mysterious tone, since it is unclear how Titan will impact the plot.

c)The phrase “That Titan rose to run his daily race” creates a frantic, hurried tone, because even though it is morning, there may not be enough time for the fight.

d)The description “Out of the sea fair Titan’s dewy face” creates a peaceful tone, even though Lady Una has cause to worry.
