Use the poem "Going for Water" by Robert Frost to answer the question.
The well was dry beside the door,
(1) And so we went with pail and can
Across the fields behind the house
To seek the brook if still it ran;
(2) Not loth to have excuse to go,
Because the autumn eve was fair
(Though chill), because the fields were ours,
And by the brook our woods were there.
(3) We ran as if to meet the moon
That slowly dawned behind the trees,
The barren boughs without the leaves,
Without the birds, without the breeze.
(4) But once within the wood, we paused
Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,
Ready to run to hiding new
With laughter when she found us soon.
(5) Each laid on other a staying hand
To listen ere we dared to look,
And in the hush we joined to make
We heard, we knew we heard the brook.
(6) A note as from a single place,
A slender tinkling fall that made
Now drops that floated on the pool
Like pearls, and now a silver blade.

A happy tone is developed when imagery is used to convey how the characters listen.
In order to answer this question, we need to identify the literary device used in stanza 5 of the poem "Going for Water" by Robert Frost and analyze how it develops the tone.
The literary device used in stanza 5 is imagery. Imagery refers to the use of vivid and descriptive language to create a sensory experience for the reader. In this stanza, the characters lay their hands on each other to create a hush or silence, allowing them to listen more attentively.
The imagery creates a sense of unity and anticipation among the characters, as they collectively hold their breaths and listen for the sound of the brook. The use of the phrase "we heard, we knew we heard the brook" emphasizes their heightened sense of awareness.
The development of a happy tone through imagery is not applicable in this stanza, as there is no direct mention of happiness or joy. The use of onomatopoeia, which is the use of words that imitate the sounds they represent, is not present in stanza 5. While symbolism is used in the poem, its presence is not prominent in this specific stanza. Lastly, the imagery used in describing a dare is not applicable to this stanza either.
Therefore, the correct answer is that a mysterious tone is developed through the use of imagery in stanza 5.
