Which term refers to the narrator's attitude toward the subject, or the emotional tone conveyed by the writer?

• A. Tone
• B. Mood
• C. Climax
• D. Allegory

Answer: (A)

Tone is the narrator’s attitude toward the subject and the emotional atmosphere the writer creates. It shows up in word choice, descriptions, and how events are presented—whether the voice feels formal, sarcastic, hopeful, somber, or critical. This is different from mood, which is the feeling the reader experiences as they read, shaped by setting, imagery, and events. Climax is the turning point of the story, while allegory is a narrative that uses symbolic figures and actions to reveal a deeper moral or political meaning. So the term that matches the idea of the narrator’s attitude and the writer’s emotional conveyance is tone.
