Question

tone is the authors attitude toward something in the story. the tone in this part of the story is meant to be
a bored.
b quiet.
c funny.
d shy.
i could hear her opening and closing the cupboards. \where are you, michael?\
\in the peas!\
\in the cheese?\
\peas!\ i yelled. \peas!\
\please what? im trying to help.\

Explanation:

The dialogue shows a humorous misunderstanding. The person is hiding and says "In the peas!" but the other person mishears it as "Please" (from "Please what? I'm trying to help."). This kind of word - play and misunderstanding is characteristic of a funny tone. A bored tone would involve lack of interest, a quiet tone would have no yelling (like "I yelled. "Peas!"), and a shy tone would involve hesitation or lack of bold communication (there is no indication of that here).

Answer:

C. funny
