Answer:
piece of c-r-a-p-e
Explanation:
In the story “The Minister's Black Veil,” Hawthorne uses different names for the black veil. The alternate name that he uses most often is piece of c-r-a-p-e. Gloomy shade appears only once, mysterious emblem twice, and sable mask doesn't appear at all in the story, whereas piece of c-r-a-p-e appears seven times.
