question 3

Explanation:

• Author’s meaning: This refers to the underlying message or lesson the author wants to convey, which is "The theme, or the lesson the author is trying to teach the reader".
• Emotional meaning: It's about the mood the story creates in the reader through imagery and style, so it matches "The mood the story evokes in the reader as a result of imagery and style".

• Note: "Author’s attitude" is already matched to "The author’s feelings toward their topic, as evidenced by their diction" (though the initial match was partially shown, we use the remaining options for the other terms).

• Author’s meaning: The theme, or the lesson the author is trying to teach the reader
