Which statement best describes how figurative language contributes to the tone of the text? help plz

B. The personification that the wind "stole" the leaves creates a gloomy tone

Explanation:

For starters, A and C are not examples of any figurative language, and are meant literally. We can rule out those.

The answer is B over D because the word "stole" has a negative connotative meaning. The branches in this personification "steal" the trees leaves, leaving the tree bare and cold in the winter. We can infer using context clues and the connotative meaning of the word "stole" that this would create a gloomy tone for the text.
