5 none of these

But how do i know if it is none of these?

You know if it's "none of these" if you find the part in your text that discusses the underlying message or concept.

To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options provided and their relevance to understanding a poem's underlying message or concept.

1. Poetic diction: Poetic diction refers to the language and vocabulary choices used in a poem. While it can contribute to the overall effect and interpretation of a poem, it does not inherently encompass the underlying message or concept.

2. Tone: The tone of a poem refers to the writer's attitude or feelings towards the subject matter. The tone can be expressed through the use of words, phrases, and other literary devices. While tone can provide valuable insight into a poem, it may not fully capture its underlying message or concept on its own.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere of a poem refers to the emotional or physical environment evoked by the words and imagery used. It can contribute to the overall mood and atmosphere of the poem but may not necessarily encompass the underlying message or concept.

Now, considering these explanations, it becomes clear that none of the options provided (1, 2, 3) fully capture a poem's underlying message or concept. These elements provide important context and contribute to the overall understanding of a poem, but they are not comprehensive enough to summarize the entire underlying message or concept.

Given this explanation, the correct answer is 5: none of these.

I don't think a poem's underlying message or concept is its tone. That ignores the real message that the poet wants to convey to the readers.
