Answer 1

The correct answer in question number one is mood.

Mood is the emotions or feelings surrounding a literary work. Mood establishes the emotions the reader should feel. This could be done through use of words and descriptions. Mood can draw your reader into feeling something for your work.

As for question number two, I think there is no question. 

Answer 2

The correct answer to the first question is "Mood". It refers to a general feeling or emotion that the reader feels while reading. When a person reads a passage the mood is the response towards that passage.

For question number 2, the answer is the word "Enthralled" which is the word that best fits the mood of the excerpt. This word describes a fascination or an adventure that is enchanting or captivating.
