Question

read the excerpt from the diary of a young girl.
and sometimes they talk about moortje and i cant take that at all. moortje is my weak spot. i miss her every minute of the day, and no one knows how often i think of her; whenever i do, my eyes fill with tears. moortje is so sweet, and i love her so much that i keep dreaming shell come back to us.
what is the mood of this excerpt?
○ optimism
○ longing
○ joy
○ confusion

Explanation:

To determine the mood, analyze key phrases: "I miss her every minute", "my eyes fill with tears", and "dreaming she’ll come back" show a strong desire for Moortje's return. "Optimism" is hopeful but not the focus here; "joy" is positive (opposite of the emotional tone); "confusion" implies uncertainty (not present). "Longing" matches the yearning and sadness from missing someone.

Answer:

B. longing
