Question

read the excerpt from passage 2.

and now i was really, you know, getting scared. but then the sun came up, and it wasnt as cold. the wind died down. (02:10–02:19)

in this excerpt, the mood changes from —

○ calm to panicked

○ worried to hopeful

○ serious to humorous

○ excited to restrained

Explanation:

First, analyze the initial mood: the phrase "getting scared" shows a worried or fearful mood. Then, the sun coming up, less cold, and wind dying down suggest a more positive, hopeful shift. Now evaluate the options:

• "calm to panicked" is opposite (starts scared, not calm).
• "worried to hopeful" matches: initial worry (scared) to hopeful (improving weather).
• "serious to humorous" has no humor.
• "excited to restrained" has no excitement initially.

Answer:

B. worried to hopeful
