Which word gives a passage a cheerful mood?

A) wind

B) pathway

C) leaves

D) playfully

It had to be D) playfully because wind has a ominous feeling, leaves gives a sad tone and pathway doesn't feel right

D) Playfully. Playfully gives the passage a more happier answer because the root word "play" means to "engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation." The suffix - ly means "to do with." Hense, if you want to make your story cheerful, it's "to do with play."
