Read the following paragraph and select the correct answer.

For the night-wind has a dismal trick of wandering round and round a building of that sort, and moaning as it goes; and of trying, with its unseen hand, the windows and the doors; and seeking out some crevices by which to enter. And when it has got in; as one not finding what it seeks, whatever that may be, it wails and howls to issue forth again: and not content with stalking through the aisles, and gliding round and round the pillars, and tempting the deep organ, soars up to the roof, and strives to rend the rafters: then flings itself despairingly upon the stones below, and passes, muttering, into the vaults. Anon, it comes up stealthily, and creeps along the walls, seeming to read, in whispers, the Inscriptions sacred to the Dead. At some of these, it breaks out shrilly, as with laughter; and at others, moans and cries as if it were lamenting. It has a ghostly sound too, lingering with the altar; where it seems to chaunt, in its wild way, of Wrong and Murder done, and false Gods worshipped, in defiance of the Tables of the Law, which look so fair and smooth, but are so flawed and broken . . . .It has an awful voice, that wind at Midnight, singing in a church! (from "The Chimes," First Quarter, by Charles Dickens)

Which sentence best illustrates the main idea of this paragraph?

Murderers are buried in some churches.
Ghosts haunt churches at midnight.
The wind moans like a restless ghost as it sings in a church at midnight.
Churches are drafty and open to midnight winds during choir rehearsals.

The focus of the paragraph is to describe how the winds moves through a church at midnight and how ghastly that sounds. There are no ghosts at the church but, by using a literary device called personification, Dickens conveys the impression that the wind is alive. The wind howls, sings, dances in a most sinister manner. It's as if it is trying to tell us about the ones who are buried in that church. As if it is sometimes laughing, sometimes lamenting. The last sentence of the paragraph summarizes its main idea well: "It has an awful voice, that wind at Midnight, singing in a church!"
