Explanation:

For Part A, the mood "Eerie" (option C) is conveyed through the description of sinking into the canal water with green silence, water - quiet and deep, etc., which creates an otherworldly, unsettling atmosphere. For Part B, the passages that support the "Eerie" mood are those that describe the silent, deep, and still water environment like "and he let himself sink down and down to the bottom like a golden statue and lie there in green silence", "All was water - quiet and deep", "all was peace", and "He felt the steady, slow current drift him easily" (assuming the highlighted ones among these demonstrate the eerie mood). The selected option for Part A is C as it best fits the mood from the descriptive passages.
