Question 12 • Online ELA 9 - A

Which word from the second stanza of "The Bells” does Poe use to best convey the mood of the stanza?

Answer
A
voluminously
B
balmy
C
mellow
D
golden

Explanation

The second stanza describes wedding bells and a happy, romantic scene. “Mellow” suggests a soft, pleasant, soothing quality, which best conveys the stanza’s warm and peaceful mood. “Voluminously” describes how the sound rises, while “golden” and “balmy” add sensory details but do not express the mood as directly.
