Read the following excerpt from "Jabberwocky,” by Lewis Carroll.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

Based on context clues, which words could best replace the nonsense words "uffish” and "tulgey”?

“selfish” and “blue”
“loud” and “grassy”
“unusual” and “small”
“deep” and “overgrown”
