The first option, "The hurried ink and faded signature create a sense of urgency and mystery," best describes how the author's word choice contributes to the tone. The use of "hurried ink" suggests a rushed and perhaps frantic situation, while "faded signature" implies something that has aged or lost significance over time. Together, these choices create an atmosphere that evokes curiosity and tension, indicating that the letter holds a significant yet unclear importance in relation to the character's journey.
The other options imply a more detached or trivial perspective regarding the letter, which does not align with the sense of urgency and mystery suggested by the first option.
