Which excerpt from "the turtle” includes words that create a calm and welcoming mood? (a) skin of the water, dragging her shell with its mossy scutes across the shallows and through the rushes (b )to dig with her ungainly feet a nest, and hunker there spewing her white eggs down (c) of her patience, her fortitude, her determination to complete what she was born to do – (d) it isn’t even hers but came to her in the rain or the soft wind, which is a gate through which her life keeps walking.

I would contend that the right answer is actually the D) "It isn’t even hers but came to her in the rain or the soft wind, which is a gate through which her life keeps walking."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the reference to "the soft wind" suggests a calm and gentle mood, whereas the description of it as "a gate through which her life keeps walking" makes the reader think of that wind as a welcoming and encouraging force that impels the turtle to keep moving forward, in spite of her limitations.    

martians or other types of aliens represent a unique fear as opposed to zombies. vampires and other types of monsters.   in most sci-fi stories, aliens come from other worlds and have different or more advanced technology.   abductions and experimentation on human bodies that involve these technologies, or the use of these technologies against human beings and the use of unknown "powers", are a type of fear that's different from that of other types of monsters.
