Question

Which word gives a passage a cheerful mood?

A) wind
B) pathway
C) leaves
D) playfully

Answer 1

It had to be D) playfully because wind has a ominous feeling, leaves gives a sad tone and pathway doesn't feel right

Answer 2

D) Playfully. Playfully gives the passage a more happier answer because the root word "play" means to "engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation." The suffix -ly means "to do with." Hense, if you want to make your story cheerful, it's "to do with play."
