Here’s the ordering of the sentences into the correct boxes:
Things that create mood:
- a large moor at dusk
- two servants in distress carrying lanterns
- two parents stressed over finances being interrupted by a happy child
Things that create tone:
- a bitter sarcastic remark by a grieving wife
This classification is based on mood being more about the atmosphere or emotional feeling conveyed (like the visual and situational elements), while tone refers to the attitude or perspective of the speaker (like the sarcastic remark).
