Emily Dickinson uses quatrain stanza structure in this excerpt. That means that each stanza has exactly 4 lines.
Question: Which part of a text is most helpful in determining an author's tone/attitude?
Answer choices:
1. The author's specific word choice and punctuation details
2. The authors age
3. Where the text was written
4. The authors biography
Correct answer: choice 1
Explanation: An author's word choice and punctuation can help you find what tone the text was intended to be interpreted because certain tones will omit or include different things. Such as a serious/informational tone will include big, complex words and not a lot of exclamation points.
Hope this helps
