observing how people and things are described
c.
counting the number of pages
b.
identifying the topic
d.
counting the number of adjectives

Answer 1

To determine the tone of a text, the most relevant action from your list is:

**a. observing how people and things are described.**

This is because the descriptions often reflect the author's attitude towards the subject, which informs the tone. While identifying the topic can provide context, counting pages or adjectives may not directly indicate tone.
