Question

what impact does the authors shift in tone in paragraph 3 have on the passage? a words like \quickly\ and \darkened\ create a passionate tone. b words like \suddenly\ and \quickly\ develop an angry tone. c words like \darkened\ and \unlighted\ create an ominous tone. d words like \unlighted\ and \suddenly\ develop a complimentary tone.

Explanation:

• Option A: "quickly" and "darkened" don't typically create a passionate tone. Passionate tone is more about strong emotions like love or enthusiasm, not these words.
• Option B: "suddenly" and "quickly" relate to speed, not anger. Angry tone would involve words with negative emotional charge like insults or harsh language.
• Option C: "darkened" (lack of light) and "unlighted" (no light) can create a sense of foreboding or unease, which is ominous. This makes sense.
• Option D: "unlighted" and "suddenly" don't create a complimentary tone (which is positive praise).

Answer:

C. Words like "darkened" and "unlighted" create an ominous tone.
