Read this excerpt from The Way to Rainy Mountain:

Now there is a funeral silence in the rooms, the endless wake of some final word.

What effect does the word funeral have on the tone of this excerpt?


It helps to convey a sense of attentiveness.


It supports a sense of hopelessness.


It suggests a sense of overwhelming grief.


It creates a sense of death and finality.

please help as soon as possible thanks :)
