Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The effect of this type of language on the passage is to convey a sense of fantasy. While the death of the woman was most certainly a violent deed, the overall tone is not of violence because at the end of the passage the Sun's child is left alone in a seemingly peaceful environment.

What happens next, whether it be a peaceful interaction or a violent struggle will almost surely take place en the realm of fantasy.
