How can the author use connotation to give this excerpt a more mysterious tone?
The scouts walked quietly across the grass, hoping that no one was
watching them.
A. Change "quietly" to "silently."
B. Change "walked" to "crept."
C. Change "grass" to "lawn."
D. Change "watching" to "looking at."

B. Change "walked" to "crept."

This will give the excerpt a more mysterious tone.
