Read the two paragraphs: "The sunrise painted the hills in golden hues, and the villagers sang with joyous hearts." "But as the clouds gathered, a cold wind whispered through the trees, and the once bright sky turned a bruised gray, filling the air with a sense of dread." Identify the tone in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2, and explain how the author's diction in paragraph 2 changes the tone from the first to the second.

Answer Options

A. Paragraph 1 is somber; paragraph 2 is hopeful. The diction in paragraph 2 - words like "cold wind whispered", "bruised gray" and "sense of dread" - adds optimism compared to paragraph 1.
B. Paragraph 1 is hopeful/celebratory; paragraph 2 is hopeful/celebratory. The diction in paragraph 2 - words like "cold wind whispered", "bruised gray" and "sense of dread" - maintains the same upbeat tone as paragraph 1.
Correct Answer C. Paragraph 1 is hopeful/celebratory; paragraph 2 is ominous/melancholic. The diction in paragraph 2 - words like "cold wind whispered", "bruised gray" and "sense of dread" - replaces the bright, warm language of paragraph 1 and thus shifts the tone to ominous.
D. Paragraph 1 is tranquil; paragraph 2 is excited. The diction in paragraph 2 - words like "cold wind whispered", "bruised gray" and "sense of dread" - intensifies the excitement introduced in paragraph 1.
