Question

select the correct answer.
how does goldman’s tone shift in the final paragraph?
a. in the first two paragraphs, her tone is enthusiastic; but in the last paragraph, she is pessimistic.
b. in the first two paragraphs, her tone is objective; but in the last paragraph it is subjective and biased.
c. in the first two paragraphs, her tone is carefree; but in the last paragraph she is seething with anger.
d. in the first two paragraphs, her tone is sarcastic; but in the last paragraph it is serious and respectful.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If the first two paragraphs are enthusiastic, a shift to pessimistic is possible, but we need to check the text (assuming typical tone analysis).
• Option B: Objective tone (factual, neutral) in first two, then subjective/biased (personal opinion) in last. This is a common tone shift pattern in writing.
• Option C: "Carefree" to "seething with anger" is a very extreme shift, less likely unless text strongly supports.
• Option D: Sarcastic to serious/respectful is an odd shift, not typical.

Assuming the text has a shift from objective (presenting info) to subjective (personal view), Option B fits.

Answer:

B. In the first two paragraphs, her tone is objective; but in the last paragraph it is subjective and biased.
