21. **Explanation**: Diction refers to an author's choice of words. The words "gauntly," "noose," and "skeleton" are word choices that create a gloomy tone.
So the answer is diction.

22. **Explanation**: Imagery is language that appeals to the senses and helps readers visualize scenes. The phrases "plowed a blinding furrow with his face" and "his arm straightened out with a jerk" create mental pictures.
So the answer is imagery.

23. **Explanation**: Tone is the author’s attitude toward the subject. "Tense" describes the author’s attitude conveyed through diction and imagery.
