Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the more joyous - toned passage, we analyze the word choices. The second passage uses words like "rapturous", "vast delight", and "ecstatic", which are more strongly associated with joy and intense positive emotions. The first passage describes a time of casual interactions but lacks the intense positive emotional language of the second.

Answer:

The passage: "It was a rapturous companionship. We enjoyed the vast delight more so because, even in our most ecstatic moments, we were conscious of each other's presence."
