which words help you understand the tone you should use when reading the dialogue?
rushed into; thrown open
which words in the dialogue should you emphasize when reading aloud this passage?
though; room; tablet
got; hand; do
i; you; cupquita

Explanation:

For the first question (words to understand tone in dialogue), "rushed into" and "thrown open" show urgency/excitement, so those are the tone - indicating words. For the second question (words to emphasize in dialogue), "I", "you", and "Cuquita" are personal pronouns and the name, which carry emphasis in the dialogue "Do I have something to show you, Cuquita?".

Answer:

First question: rushed into; thrown open
Second question: I; you; Cuquita
