Question

in this excerpt from the way to rainy mountain, the author uses language that depicts the sun as a human. 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 suns 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 supports the idea that the information is factual. it develops the sense that the story is more legend than fact

Explanation:

Personifying the sun (saying "he was very angry", "his child") gives the story a mythical/legendary feel. Legends often use personification and anthropomorphic elements. A mood lacking emotion is incorrect as words like "angry" show emotion. There's no indication of author admiration. And personification doesn't make it seem factual.

Answer:

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