Which term denotes a speaker's, author's, or character's disposition toward or opinion of a subject?

• A. Allusion
• B. Autobiography
• C. Attitude
• D. Allegory

Answer: (C)

Attitude describes a speaker's, author's, or character's disposition toward or opinion of a subject. This shows up in word choice, tone, and what the text emphasizes or critiques, revealing how the writer feels about the topic. For example, positive, critical, or sarcastic wording signals the stance toward the subject. Allusion is a reference to something else, not the stance itself. Autobiography is a life story written by the subject, not a statement of attitude toward a topic. Allegory uses characters or events to symbolize broader ideas, often delivering a moral, rather than directly expressing a specific stance toward a subject.
