Which action would best help determine the tone of a poem?

Tone is the poet’s attitude toward the subject. Analyzing how graphical and structural elements convey an attitude most directly helps determine the poem’s tone, so the best choice is “analyze how the poet uses graphical and structural elements to convey a particular attitude.” Rhyme and meter can create sound, but sound alone does not establish the poet’s attitude.
