Read this excerpt from chapter 2 of The Scarlet Letter.
The door of the jail being flung open from within, there appeared, in the first place, like a black shadow emerging
into sunshine, the grim and grisly presence of the town-beadle, with a sword by his side and his staff of office in
his hand.
Which best describes the purpose of the words "black shadow," "grim," "grisly," and "sword"?
O to impart a sorrowful mood
O to impart a solemn mood
to establish the early morning setting
O to establish the militant jailhouse setting
