This  expression "....Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." implies that the people had got closely together -  huddled-  because they were tired and were yearning for freedom. Therefore, option D. <em>Tired / yearning</em> is the correct one. A. <em>Give / your </em>will not be helpful to infer the context since 'your'  by itself conveys no meaning. B) <em>Masses / free </em> refer to the fact that the masses desired to be free , but they do not refer to the reason why the masses had got to be closely together. C) <em>Breathe / me </em> are not  giving any hints; to breathe  refers to the desire of the masses to be free and 'me' is a pronoum which by itself means nothing in this context.

How does the relationship between tone and diction differ from the relationship between mood and diction?
Aneli [31]

The correct answer is D. Tone is determined by diction, while mood is affected by many things

Explanation:

In literature, the tone refers to the way the author addresses issues or the feelings and attitudes he or she expresses about the main subject matter, because of this, the tone can be mainly identified through the diction that is the words the author choose to express different elements in a literary piece. As a result, tone relies mainly on diction.

On the other hand, the mood refers to the atmosphere the author creates in a literary work and the feeling or emotions this atmosphere causes in the readers. As tone, mood is also influenced by the choice of words or diction, but there are also other elements that contribute to the mood including the setting as a story with a sad or scary mood  takes place in a different setting that one with a cheerful mood; the use of description that provide vivid details to explain the atmosphere; the tone of the author and the use of pauses and similar devices to create rhythm. Consequently, it can be concluded that while the tone is determined by diction, the mood is affected by many things and not only diction.
