Answer:

B. What they had wished for was a frogstrangler, but they got sorry-looking rain.

Explanation:

This is the clearest example of diction in this text. Diction is a term that refers to a person's way of speaking or writing. This is most clearly expressed by an author through the choice of words that he makes to express his ideas. There are several aspects of diction that can be identified, such as whether the words used are accurate, whether they fit the context of the text, or whether they are easily understandable to the reader or listener.

<span>After Juliet's body is found, Lord Capulet says these lines from act IV of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet:

This excerpt is an example of dramatic iron because the audience know that Juliet is not dead, but  Juliet's father is not aware of this fact.
