Read the passage from "To Build a Fire" by Jack London.
There was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet there
seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due
to the absence of sun.
Which phrase from the passage best illustrates the meaning of pall?
O a clear day
O hint of sun
o the face of things
a subtle gloom
