What is the attitude of the story called?

Tone Imagery Details Fiction

Correct Answer:

Tone

Explanation:

Attitude toward the subject or characters in a story is shown through the author's tone. Tone is revealed by word choice, how sentences are built, and what the narrator highlights, which together tell you how the writer feels about what’s happening—whether the mood is serious, playful, ironic, hopeful, or critical. Imagery focuses on painting vivid pictures in your mind with sensory details, not the author’s attitude. Details are the specific facts or pieces of information the author includes. Fiction is a type of writing, not an attitude. So, tone is the best choice because it names the writer’s stance toward the subject.
