We received no food. we lived on snow; it took the place of bread. the days resembled the nights, and the nights left in our souls the dregs of their darkness. the train rolled slowly, often halted for a few hours, and continued. it never stopped snowing. we remained lying on the floor for days and nights, one on top of the other, never uttering a word. we were nothing but frozen bodies. our eyes closed, we merely waited for the next stop, to unload our dead. how do the underlined words and phrases affect the tone of the excerpt? select two options. they show apprehension. they point out feelings of disappointment. they demonstrate the despair of the situation. they explain the uncertainty of what is happening. they reflect an attitude of being resigned to one’s fate.

They demonstrate the despair of the situation. They reflect an attitude of being resigned to one’s fate.

This passage is from Wiesel's Night. It takes place near the end of the novel when Wiesel and other Jewish people are being transported from one camp to another. The people are too tired to have any feelings but despair and resignation. The passage does not indicate that they have the energy to be apprehensive or uncertainty. At this point the people have been at the mercy of the Nazis long enough to know that whatever is next can't be good. The description that they "merely waited" shows this resignation. "The dregs of their darkness" left in their souls shows the utter despair of the situation.
