We looked at the flames in the darkness. There was an abominable odor floating in the air. Suddenly, our doors opened. Some odd-looking characters, dressed in striped shirts and black trousers, leapt into the wagon. They held electric torches and truncheons. They began to strike out to the right and left shouting “Everybody get out! Everyone get out of the wagon!”

The correct answer is C - mood and tone are often asked on the EOC and students often get them confused. Tone is how the author feels about something (think about someone's tone of voice conveying more meaning). Mood is how the reader is made to feel. Here we have words like "flames", "darkness", and "abominable odor". Add to that the shouting and physical violence, it makes the reader anxious for what is happening as well.
Thanks to Ms. Willis from Manteo for the question! All of her students should be thanking her daily for being graced with an absolute awesome teacher!
