Which of the following best reveals the tone of a story

(A) point of view

(B) Climax

(C) Plot

(D)Falling action

Answer:

The correct answer is option (A) point of view .

Explanation:

The point of view of a narrator in literature is the position that narrator takes in relation to a certain element of the story, and this is going to be what best reveals the overall mood or tone of a story.

Through his point of view the narrator will establish a certain attitude in a literary work.

On the other hand, let's briefly clarify the other objects of the options to clear the doubts:

The climax is that moment in which the story will reach its peak and where the greatest drama will take place.

The falling action is the moment of calm that follows climax, where the biggest problem is already solved.

And the plot is what shows us the development of a story in literature.

Therefore, we can say that the correct answer is option A.

Answer 2

Tone in fiction is the attitude of the narrator or viewpoint character toward story events and other characters. In a story with first-person POV, tone can also be the narrator’s attitude toward the reader.

In non-fiction, tone is the writer’s attitude toward subject matter and reader. So the writer might come across as a know-it-all or a blowhard or as humble or solicitous.
