The former has a serious mood, while the latter has a lighter mood. 3. The former has an angry mood, while the latter has a celebratory mood. 4. The former has a tense mood, while the latter has a suspenseful mood.

Answer 1

2. The former has a serious mood, while the latter has a lighter mood.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the book, "Because I Could Not Stop For Death", the author Emily Dickinson made use of imagery to show how death and immortality go hand in hand and how she is willing to leave the world. She goes ahead to describe the two characters as being kind and respectful.

However, analyzing the diction in "Some Keep The Sabbath Going To Church", the choice of words used can be considered to be straightforward.

To avoid confusion, Former directs us to the first of two things, and latter directs us to the second (or last) of them.
