Answer:

The attitude of the text toward the theme or subject

Step-by-step explanation:

Tone is the attitude the narrator/character takes on. It is usually given by their word choice (diction) and the connotation these words take on.

The reader's feelings and emotions they receive from the text is the mood, or the atmosphere of the story.

Surface-level events/ideas are the plot of the story.
