He was very angry ... he threw the ring and it did what he told it to do; it struck the woman and killed her, and then the sun's child was all alone. What is the effect of this language?

It contributes to a mood that lacks any emotion.

It reveals a tone of admiration on the part of the author.

It develops the sense that the story is more legend than fact.

It supports the idea that the information is factual.

It develops the sense that the story is more legend than fact. Let's look at the choices and see what's make sense and what doesn't. It contributes to a mood that lacks any emotion. * Since the language uses emotional words such as "angry", and "all alone", it's quite doubtful that the mood is lacking emotion. So this choice is wrong. It reveals a tone of admiration on the part of the author. * There doesn't seem to be any language that indicates any feelings of the author, either positive, or negative about the subject. So the author seems to be neutral in the description and that makes this choice wrong as well. It develops the sense that the story is more legend than fact. * Let's consider this. He throws a ring and the ring does what he told it to do. I don't seem to recall ever being able to throw anything and having that thing "do" what I asked of it to. If I had that capability, I'd be making quite a bit of money right now in baseball. So this doesn't have a factual feeling, but more of a legendary feeling. This looks to be the correct choice. It supports the idea that the information is factual. * The very thing that makes the legendary feeling true makes this choice false. So this too is a bad choice.
