Which example best displays a gloomy mood? a. the door stood ajar, as if beckoning the visitors to enter and take a seat and unwind on the down-filled chairs. b. the windows sparkled welcomingly as the curtains snapped merrily in the soft breeze of the evening. c. the curtains dragged heavily to the ground, the view from the glass obscured by a fog of neglect.
d. the household awoke to the smell of pancakes and the tinkling of coffee cups inviting them to breakfast.

The curtains dragged heavily to the ground, the view from the glass obscured by a fog of neglect.    

Explanation:

As a writer, it is no easy task to create a certain mood through words alone; however, when properly done, it makes the narrative achieve a depth that it would otherwise lack. In the answer selected above, the description of the curtains dragging in an obscured view tinted with neglect certainly creates a gloomy mood that makes the reader stand in uncertainty and expectancy of something of a frightful nature.
