Sarah stood staring at the whiteboard for an eternity. The class was over, and everyone had left for home. But, Sarah had lost the concept of time. She kept going back to the moment when she had overheard Betsy, her best friend, tell Raj that she had a crush on him.
"Betsy! Oh, Betsy! Did you forget how I felt about him?" Sarah gave words to her thoughts and buried her head in her hands. She was a wilted flower losing all hopes of spring. She hated the fact that it was a beautiful day. Buds were continuing their blooming, and birds were happily chirping on the tree outside the classroom. "Not fair!" she uttered the choked up words and felt like hiding from the world forever. That was when she felt a gentle tap on her back.
"There you are! I kept looking for you everywhere, girl," Betsy said. "Why do you look like a broken piece of a violin?"
"I heard what you said to him," Sarah responded without facing Betsy. She felt bees stinging at her eyes and volcanoes erupting from her heart. Sarah had never felt betrayal so strongly.
"Then you should be dancing," Betsy said, confused. "Raj was asking me if you had asked anyone out to prom yet because he has like the biggest crush in the universe on you! And, I told him you were waiting for him to ask. Was I not supposed to say that?"

Passage: "The Ambitious Guest" by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne lived and wrote in the puritanical culture of 19th century New England. In the decade after he completed college, he spent most of his time in solitude writing his early short stories and a novel. When he was unable to support himself by writing, he tried several careers, but continued to write novels and short stories. Although he visited England and Italy, his best-known stories describe the gloom and loneliness of life in New England. He died in 1864.

One September night a family had gathered round their hearth, and piled it high with the driftwood of mountain streams, the dry cones of the pine, and the splintered ruins of great trees that had come crashing down the precipice. Up the chimney roared the fire, and brightened the room with its broad blaze. The faces of the father and mother had a sober gladness; the children laughed; the eldest daughter was the image of Happiness at seventeen; and the aged grandmother, who sat knitting in the warmest place, was the image of Happiness grown old. They had found the "herb, heart's-ease," in the bleakest spot of all New England. This family was situated in the Notch of the White Hills, where the wind was sharp throughout the year, and pitilessly cold in the winter, —giving their cottage all its fresh inclemency before it descended on the valley of the Saco. They dwelt in a cold spot and a dangerous one; for a mountain towered above their heads, so steep, that the stones would often rumble down its sides and startle them at midnight.

The daughter had just uttered some simple jest that filled them all with mirth, when the wind came through the Notch and seemed to pause before their cottage—rattling the door, with a sound of wailing and lamentation, before it passed into the valley.

The family were glad again when they perceived that the latch was lifted by some traveller, whose footsteps had been unheard amid the dreary blast which heralded his approach, and wailed as he was entering, and went moaning away from the door.

The door was opened by a young man. His face at first wore the melancholy expression, almost despondency, of one who travels a wild and bleak road, at nightfall and alone, but soon brightened up when he saw the kindly warmth of his reception. He felt his heart spring forward to meet them all, from the old woman, who wiped a chair with her apron, to the little child that held out its arms to him. One glance and smile laced the stranger on a footing of innocent familiarity with the eldest daughter.

"Ah, this fire is the right thing!" cried he; "especially when there is such a pleasant circle round it. I am quite benumbed; for the Notch is just like the pipe of a great pair of bellows; it has blown a terrible blast in my face all the way from Bartlett."

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Doctor Pascal
by Emile Zola

In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.

Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled.

For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair.

The first paragraph creates which of these moods for the passage? (5 points)
