Here’s how you can categorize each item based on whether they create mood or tone:

Things that create mood:

• A. A large moor at dusk.
• B. Two servants in distress, carrying lanterns.
• D. Two parents stressed over finances, being interrupted by a happy child.

Things that create tone:

• C. A bitter, sarcastic remark by a grieving wife.

Explanation:

• Mood refers to the emotional atmosphere or feelings evoked in the reader by a piece of literature, which is often influenced by the setting and circumstances. The examples given in mood reflect specific situations and imagery that evoke emotions.

• Tone, on the other hand, refers to the author's attitude toward the subject matter or audience, which can be conveyed through word choice and style. The bitter, sarcastic remark reflects an attitude and emotional response, creating the tone in that scenario.
