Read the passage, then answer: Which word best describes the tone of the paragraph? The trail bends into the woods, and the light seems to thin out with every step. Leaves hang motionless, even though the air feels cold against my neck. Somewhere deeper in the trees, a branch snaps, sharp as a twig breaking under a boot. I tell myself it is only an animal, but the silence that follows feels too careful. The path narrows, and the tall ferns brush my legs like damp hands. A crow calls once, then stops, as if it has decided not to draw attention. When I glance back, the entrance to the trail looks smaller than it did a minute ago. The trees stand close together, dark and watchful. I keep walking, but my footsteps sound louder than they should.
