To find the answer to this question, we need to understand what tone means. Tone refers to the author's attitude or feelings towards the subject they are writing about.

Now let's look at the given options:

1. A comparison between two otherwise unlike people, objects, or places - This option does not match the definition of tone. It seems to describe a different concept, possibly metaphor or analogy.

2. The author's attitude toward the subject - This option aligns with the definition of tone. When authors write, they often have a particular attitude or emotion towards the topic, and this is reflected in their writing. This option is the correct answer.

3. The time and place in which a story takes place - This option describes the setting of a story, not the author's attitude towards the subject.

4. A type of figurative language in which a non-human object is given human qualities - This option refers to personification, a specific literary device, and not the broader concept of tone.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2: the author's attitude toward the subject.
