Answer:
d. Mood or atmosphere.
Explanation:
The given quote is from the text "New Amsterdam" from the "Poems and Places". The very literal meaning of "inundation" can be said as "flooding" or "in an overwhelming amount" to which the second meaning can be applied to the excerpt.
The poet said that the whole house is "constantly in a state of inundation", giving the impression that the women in the house were overwhelmingly cleaning the house. This can be taken from the words "mops and brooms and scrubbing brushes". Thus, the context clue that can be meant by the use of the word "inundation" is the mood or the atmosphere.
