Read the sentence: "Though the letter begins politely, though it praises the recipient's prudence, it ends as a threat." Which commentary best links syntax and tone?
A
The cumulative structure allows the threat to appear first and soften afterward.
B
The sentence is fragmentary because repeated though-clauses cannot lead to an independent clause.
C
The syntax has no tonal effect because all clauses are equally polite.
D
The periodic structure makes the courteous openings give way to the blunt final judgment.
