Answer 1

Put simply: "A poem's stylistic choices (such as diction and enjambment) create the tone or overall atmosphere of the poem."

Brief explanation:
- Diction (word choice) sets connotation and formality — e.g., colloquial words make a poem feel intimate; archaic vocabulary makes it feel distant or solemn.
- Enjambment (running a sentence over a line break) controls pace and surprise — short, end-stopped lines slow the poem and feel measured; frequent enjambment speeds the reader and can create tension or urgency.

Example:
- Precise, plain diction + frequent enjambment → brisk, urgent mood.
- Lush, ornate diction + end-stopped lines → contemplative, formal atmosphere.
