Read the following passage: “i gazed at these marvels in profound silence. words were utterly wanting to indicate the sensations of wonder i experienced. i seemed, as i stood upon that mysterious shore, as if i were some wandering inhabitant of a distant planet, present for the first time at the spectacle of some terrestrial phenomena belong to another existence.” which of the following words does not impact mood? marvels profound wonder mysterious spectacle phenomena gazed

The correct word is “gazed”. The verb gaze is used to describe the action of looking / staring at something for a long period of time – be it because that something being watched is impressive or simply because the watcher is distracted and pensive.  In the passage, the word gaze does NOT impact the mood.

What really impacts the mood in the passage are the other words – marvels, profound, wonder, mysterious, spectacle and phenomena – since their meaning convey an idea of something unnatural, exciting and incredible happening before the eyes of the narrator.

The passage was taken from the book A Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Julio Verne. The narrator is struggling to describe his sensations when he finds a gigantic cavern and the Central Sea below the surface of the Earth.
