Read the excerpt from h. g. wells's the war of the worlds. the end of the cylinder was being screwed out from within. nearly two feet of shining screw projected. somebody blundered against me, and i narrowly missed being pitched onto the top of the screw. i turned, and as i did so the screw must have come out, for the lid of the cylinder fell upon the gravel with a ringing concussion. i stuck my elbow into the person behind me, and turned my head towards the thing again. for a moment that circular cavity seemed perfectly black. i had the sunset in my eyes.

how does the author create an aesthetic impact in the excerpt?
a)with the inclusion of factual data
b)through the suspenseful mood
c)with the use of gory details
d)through the relaxed tone

B) through the suspenseful mood.

In this passage, the author is trying to increase the tension by using a suspenseful mood. Although the scene is relatively short (it only describes the unscrewing of the cylinder), it is made longer by the extensive use of details and imagery. As the reader focuses on each detail, he is able to connect to the feeling of anticipation of the character, thus making the mood one of anticipation and suspense.
