In literature, what is meant by the term mood?

the feeling or atmosphere evoked in a piece of writing

the reader's interest in finding out what happens next

the use of words to create mental pictures for the reader

the author's attitude toward the subject or characters

The answer is A. The mood in any piece of literature is determined by feeling created. You can think of this by using context clues. Think of your mood right now, perhaps you're relaxed. Mood is a type of internal feeling felt by a human being, and mood is generally used in writing to evoke emotion, or reasoning!! Hope this helped.
