Question

from frankenstein by mary shelley
1 it was on a dreary night of november, that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils. with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half - extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
2 how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! . . . his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries

The passage creates an anxious mood with the narrator's actions and the setting. There is no mention of walking, the poem doesn't add more setting details, and no solution is suggested. The tone - anxious and ending with the creature coming to life which is uncertain - is built by the passage.

Answer:

A. to build the anxious tone and end with uncertainty
