Read this excerpt from "A Visit of Charity" by Eudora Welty:
"Stinkweeds," said the other old woman sharply. She had a
bunchy white forehead and red eyes like a sheep. Now she
turned them toward Marian. The fogginess seemed to rise
in her throat again, and she bleated, "Who-are-you?"
Which words and phrases in this excerpt create the most harsh and uninviting
mood?
O
A. Stinkweeds, old woman, rise in her throat
O
B. Old woman, fogginess, bleated
O
C. Stinkweeds, sharply, bleated,
O
D. White forehead, fogginess, rise in her throat

fogginess isnt exactly a harh word, therefore it doesnt send a harsh tone, which eliminates options b and d. old women is less harsh than sharply which eliminates option a. therefore the answer to your question is c. please mark as brainliest answer :)

Answer:

C. Stinkweeds, sharply, bleated.

Explanation:

These are the words that create a harsh and uninviting mood in this excerpt. The author talks about "stinkweeds," which conveys an image of bad smell and displeasure. Moreover, the woman is described as speaking "sharply," which is definitely uninviting. Finally, the woman is also described as "bleating," which is a reference both to her unappealing aspect as well as her harsh manner.
