a transformation to a more pleasant setting
a difference in tone
a sudden flashback in time
a change in the narrative point of view

conventions and style
instructions: identify the choice that best answers the question.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: A transformation to a more pleasant setting is not typical Gothic (Gothic often uses dark, unsettling settings).
• Option 2: Gothic literature commonly uses shifts in tone (e.g., from eerie to more intense or melancholic). In Frankenstein, Chapters 15 - 17 have tonal shifts fitting Gothic style.
• Option 3: A sudden flashback isn't a defining Gothic trait.
• Option 4: The narrative point of view doesn't change between these chapters in a way typical of Gothic.

Answer:

B. a difference in tone
