How can tones be described?

  1. By their brightness

  2. As warm, cool, or neutral

  3. By their texture

  4. Through their chemical composition

The correct answer is: As warm, cool, or neutral

Tones can be described by their brightness and by using words such as warm, cool, or neutral. However, option A is not the best answer because it only focuses on one aspect of the tone. Option C is not correct either because texture is usually used to describe the feel or surface of an object, not sound. Option D is incorrect because chemical composition is not a factor that affects tone. Therefore, the best answer is B as it offers the most appropriate and commonly used terms for describing tones.
