writhing middle and wriggled in the air toward me - and
then another.

The book has a more matter-of-fact tone, is the sentence best describes the tone of the passage from the book compared to the passage from the radio broadcast. Hence, option B is correct.

What is the concept of passage?

The tense used in a literary narrative has an impact on its mood and the reader's understanding of what is happening. In the issue at hand, a passage from The War of the Worlds was converted to the present tense during the radio adaptation process. In all instances, the narrator, who is also one of the characters, tells how he or she saw something that looked like a snake.

While the second excerpt uses present tense to indicate that the character is actually experiencing the events, the first excerpt uses past tense to indicate that this incident already happened, and the character is merely recounting it.

Thus, option B is correct.
