Read the following lines:

he saw the gilded weathercock
swim in the moonlight as he passed,
and the meeting-house windows, blank and bare,
gaze at him with a spectral glare,
as if they already stood aghast
at the bloody work they would look upon.

which of the following statements best explains the effect of the personification in these lines?

a the imagery of the moonlight swimming creates a confusing environment.

bthe description of the windows as empty eyes with a ghostly look creates a dark mood.

cthe personification of the windows makes the day seem open to endless opportunity.

d the description of the meeting house as a blank face communicates a hopeful tone.

B The description of the windows as empty eyes with a ghostly look creates a dark mood.

The personification of the house is not a positive image, so any answer that says the house is happy or the story is happy should be eliminated. This means get rid of C because endless opportunity is positive and D because a hopeful tone is positive. Also, the personification is not the moonlight swimming since the moonlight isn't swimming, the weathercock is. B is the only thing left. The house windows are described as having the human trait of glaring. This is definitely creepy and dark.
