Original diction refers to words or phrases that do not necessarily exist in real languages, but are rather created by a particular author for a particular piece of literature. Having this in mind, the correct answer here is III "Lapuntah," given that it is a word that Swift made up for his "Gulliver's Travels."

Which word best describes the tone of “To His Coy Mistress”?
valina [46]
“To His Coy Mistress” is actually a poem that was written by Andrew Marvell, an author and a politician as well. This poem is spoken by a nameless man and dedicates this poem to a nameless woman as well. Therefore, I can say that the word that best describes the tone of this poem is longing. It would be the last option. Hope this helps.
