Formal and Serious.
By formal, she's not blaming anyone for what has been happening, but instead presenting the issue to the public with grace. By serious, she's making sure to stay on the topic and push her arguments as far as they will go.
The literary term for a reader's reaction to a story is a Mood.
The answer to this question is D
Defenitions:
similee: compareing 2 things with the word 'like' or 'as'
example: 'graceful as the wind'
imagery: using an image to convey an idea
personification: treating a non-person as a person way (sorry confusing)
example: 'the sun walked across the ocean'
synecdoche: the part stands for the whole
example: 'his hand will save us'
hyperbole: exageration
example: 'he ate two train worth of food'
so
sun slumbers in ocean's arms
1. sun doesn't sleep, because is isn't alive
2. ocean doesn't have arms, people have arms
this is personification
