A. enchanting
B. appreciative
C. brash
D. comical

A. Enchanting

Explanation:

The author’s description makes me feel mysterious or secretly hidden. Some context clues as to why: “someone makes a wish” brings to mind magic and mystery. “Night falls like a black velvet cloak” makes me think of a magician.

It’s not appreciative or comical, and it’s the opposite of brash. It’s subtle and.. well, enchanting.
