What is the difference between tone and mood?

Mood is the emotions of the characters, while tone is the emotions of the audience.
Tone is the emotions of the characters, while mood is the emotions of the audience.
Mood and tone are the same thing.
Tone is the setting of the story, while mood is the feeling of the audience.

The correct answer is: Tone is the emotions of the characters, while mood is the emotions of the audience.

Tone refers to the attitude or feelings of the author or narrator towards the subject or audience. In contrast, mood is the emotional atmosphere created for the reader through the author's use of language and description. Option A and D are incorrect because they swap the definitions of tone and mood. Option C is incorrect because mood and tone are not the same thing. It's important to note that while tone is often set by the writer, the mood can also be influenced by the reader's own personal experiences and interpretation of the text.
