Read the excerpt from "A Pair of Silk Stockings." She sat herself upon a revolving stool before a counter that was comparatively deserted, trying to gather strength and courage to charge through an eager multitude that was besieging breastworks of shirting and figured lawn. An all-gone limp feeling had come over her and she rested her hand aimlessly upon the counter. She wore no gloves. By degrees she grew aware that her hand had encountered something very soothing, very pleasant to touch. She looked down to see that her hand lay upon a pile of silk stockings. Which best describes the mood the author conveys? a mood of surrender a mood of confrontation a mood of suspense a mood of restlessness

I think the mood of this excerpt would be ambitious almost, because she's eagerly setting her hand upon the counter. The author is trying to set an intense mood almost. 
The correct answer would be mood of suspense.

The statement that most adequately displays the mood conveyed by the author in the given excerpt would be:

C). A mood of suspense.

  • 'Mood' is described as the feeling or the emotional state that the author aims to elicit from the readers by providing a specific atmosphere, background, or attitude.
  • In the given excerpt, the author aims to evoke the emotion of suspense or uncertainty so that the readers are curious to know about the next event in the plot of the narrative.
  • This mood is reflected through the excitement displayed by her while establishing the counter ('eager multitude...counter') as it creates anxiousness and eagerness among the readers.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
