Which is a way that an author could develop a cheerful mood in a text?

An author can create a cheerful mood through word choice. Words such as “welcomed,” “bright,” and “warmly” have positive, friendly associations that help readers feel cheerful. “Early morning hours” does not necessarily suggest a cheerful mood, and the other choices focus on an argument or character development rather than the language that establishes mood.
