Answer: DICTION

Explanation: I GOT THE ANSWER RIGHT ON THE TEST

Diction is the author's word choice. A frightening tale would contain words that created a menacing mood. A story about a narrator's childhood would utilize words that reflect innocence.

Examples:

In the first few paragraphs of Moby D, the narrator uses words with a negative connotation to describe his time on land. His words in relation to sailing and the ocean are positive.
