Option b. the following line creates a bright and cheery tone: light bounced across the water, shimmering on the surface like jewels.
Explanation:
In writing, the tone is the attitude of the writer toward a specific subject or the audience. The tone is conveyed through the writer's choice of words and the viewpoint in which the writer chooses to tell the story. The sentence "light bounced across the water, shimmering on the surface like jewels" creates a bright and cheery tone, with the use of words such as "bounced" "shimmering" and "jewels" which all reinforce a positive, happy and upbeat scenario.
