Question

Read the following lines from Thoughts of Hanoi

The night is deep and chill
as in early autumn. Pitchblack,
it thickens after each lightening flash
I dream of Hanoi
Co-ngu Road
ten years of separation
the way back sliced by a frontier of hatred
I want to bury the Past
to burn the future
still i yearn
still i fear
those endless nights
waiting for dawn.

Answer 2

Answer: D) somber.

Explanation: In literature, mood is a literary element that evokes certain feelings or vibes in readers through words and descriptions. We can also say that the mood is the emotional setting of the piece or its atmosphere. In the given lines, the setting (the description of the place) and the speaker, create a somber mood, because of phrases like "The night is deep and chill," "Pitchblack,  it thickens," "still i yearn , still i fear  those endless nights..." etc.
