What’s the tone??? Mary stopped at the edge of the park to enjoy the scene. Her eyes wandered over the lake. It was a windless morning, and the lake was as still as glass. Her eyes drifted towards the ground. It looked like a patchwork quilt, colored by the yellow, orange, and red leaves that drifted lazily from the trees. Movement caught her eyes, and she watched a flock of geese fly over the lake. She wished she was a bird, able to fly and drink up the views of this breathtaking fall day. a) gloomy B) peaceful c) humorous d) playful
