The best answer to the question: Which statement best explains how the word choice supports the mood of the passage, would be, D: A playful mood is created by the use of the words laughed and dashed.

Explanation:

Although when you read this passage you do not get very playful, especially a word like laughed does give you a sense of playfulness, at least on the part of the wind. The wind does seem to be having fun as it races through the farm. The word dashing, which in this context would mean to run, also sets an aura of elevated energy, not exactly the characteristic of a sleepy mood. So, the use of the two words in the entire excerpt, laughed and dashed, gives the reader more a sense of playfulness than a sense of sleepiness. This is why the best answer is D. Words like fury, and rage, which are the other option, do not exactly point towards playfulness, so, we can discard them as well.

answer: no

explanation:

different strategies reach different people based on their ability to understand the material. (from personal experience) when writing an argumentative essay write explaining the subject as though your audience never heard of it before and it is just being introduced, then explain why other people hate it also, afterward you would explain why that would be wrong. i hope that : )
