objective
The passage begins with a solemn, reflective tone but shifts to an urgent, angry tone in the third paragraph. Identify two textual clues that signal this tonal shift and discuss why the author changes tone at that point.
Answer Options
Correct Answer
A.
The calm words "softly" and the long, flowing sentences in the first paragraph create a reflective tone, while the sudden appearance of words like "storm," "rage," and the short, sharp sentences in the third paragraph signal an urgent, angry tone. The author shifts tone because a critical event (the betrayal) occurs, demanding a more forceful emotional response and highlighting the story's turning point.
B.
The shift is signaled by the introduction of the word "whisper" and the longer, more descriptive sentences in the third paragraph, indicating a move to a softer, contemplative tone.
C.
The author's tone shifts because the narrator begins to recount a dream sequence, using surreal imagery like "floating clouds," which creates a whimsical tone rather than urgent anger.
D.
The tonal change is marked by the appearance of the phrase "bright sunrise" and the use of exclamation marks, showing a transition to an optimistic tone; the author changes tone to celebrate a victory.
