Re: mystery Quote:
Please, is the way of usage of the following words correct?
'...the atmosphere of suspicion, scepticism, mystery, disillusion, and interrogation.....'
| If you're just asking whether or not it makes sense to talk about an atmosphere of suspicion, scepticism (or skepticism), mystery, disillusion (or disillusionment), and interrogation, then I would say yes—those phrases do make sense. The last one might be a slight stretch, but yes, I think I could manufacture a context where it would be reasonable to talk about an atmosphere of interrogation.
As far as how you intend to actually use these is concerned, all bets are off.
