Answer:
The word the best describes the mood of the passage is:
A. cheerful
Explanation:
Mood can be described as the way the author feels as well as the way he or she makes readers feel. This excerpt of "The Garden Party", by Katherine Mansfield, conveys a cheerful mood. The description of the day and of the garden is exuberant. Words such as "warm", "light gold", and "shine" all help convey this bubbly, joyous feeling. Just think of the opposite, of a day that is described as dull, gray, and cloudy. The feeling conveyed would be of melancholy, the opposite of cheerful.
