Read the passage from "Christabel." It was a lovely sight to see The lady Christabel, when she Was praying at the old oak tree. Amid the jaggéd shadows Of mossy leafless boughs, Kneeling in the moonlight, To make her gentle vows; Her slender palms together prest, Heaving sometimes on her breast; Her face resigned to bliss or bale - Her face, oh call it fair not pale, And both blue eyes more bright than clear, Each about to have a tear. Which lines contain diction that creates the overall tone? Check all that apply. It was a lovely sight to see Amid the jaggéd shadows To make her gentle vows Her face, oh call it fair not pale Each about to have a tear

Diction is the choice of words and tone is the writer's attitude towards the subject matter. In the passage from "Christabel," the author Samuel Taylor Coleridge makes reference to good Christabel praying in the forest. As a consequence, the lines related to offering a prayer are the ones that mention or allude to a solemn promise or vow, and the protagonist's teary eyes, which are the windows of her soul.
