read the following passage
from "the war of the worlds," by h.g. wells.
no one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this
world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's
and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various
concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man
with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply
in a drop of water. with infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe
about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. it is
possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. no one gave a
thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of
them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. it is
curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. at most
terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon mars, perhaps inferior to
themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. yet across the gulf of
space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish,
intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes,
and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. and early in the twentieth
century came the great disillusionment.

Ответ:
D. Unemotional
Explanation:
Although the statements the narrator is making may evoke emotions within the reader and make them feel as if human race were in danger as they may realize that they are being watched by "minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic", and who represent a threat to human's society as they " regarded this earth with envious eyes", the narrator expresses the idea in a very neutral and unemotional way. There is no sign in the text that he or she is angry, panicked nor mysterious (he or she is giving many details).
Ответ:
