Question

I need to know “2.”

Answer 1

This is hard to answer as mood and tone are two different things. Mood is the reader’s feelings you get from a passage. Tone is what the author’s attitude is within the passage to get the reader to have a certain feeling. That said, as you read it, what are you feeling?  Would or could this be one of confusion? Humor (if you understand the joke)?  If you don’t have your mood word list, you can google it. The good thing about mood is that there really isn’t a wrong answer if you can defend the way you came to that answer.
