4.1.8 quiz: analyze the voices of faulkner
which of these words best describes the tone of faulkner’s speech in the audio recording of his nobel prize address?
a. emotional
b. detached
c. grave
d. humorous

Explanation:

Faulkner's Nobel Prize address deals with serious themes like the human spirit and the role of the writer, and his delivery is solemn and weighty. "Grave" (serious, solemn) fits best. "Emotional" implies more overt feeling, "Detached" is uncaring, and "Humorous" is light - hearted, which don't match the tone of the address.

Answer:

C. Grave
