    Answer: B) Terror and C) Mental confusion.

    Explanation: In literature, mood is a literary element that evokes certain feelings or vibes in readers through words and descriptions. We can also say that the mood is the emotional setting of the piece or its atmosphere. In the given excerpt from "The Pit and the Pendulum" we can see a mood of terror ("fearful idea") and mental confusion (the speaker doesn't realize what is happening).
