which words help you understand the tone you should use when reading the dialogue?
which words in the dialogue should you emphasize when reading aloud this passage?

Explanation:

To determine the words for tone and emphasis, analyze the dialogue and narration. For the first question (words for tone), look at descriptive words in the narration: "rushed", "flushed", "cursory knock", "just thrown open" suggest excitement/urgency. The dialogue "Do I have something to show you, Cuquita!" has "show" and the excited tone. For emphasis (second question), words like "show", "Cuquita", "rushed", "flushed" (in narration) or "Do", "something", "show" (in dialogue) carry emotion. But since the text is from a literary work, focus on dialogue and narrative clues. The key is identifying words that signal tone (excitement, urgency) and emphasis (words that convey emotion/importance).

Answer:

For "Which words help you understand the tone...": Words like "rushed", "flushed", "cursory", "just thrown open", and the dialogue "Do I have something to show you, Cuquita!" (specifically "show", "Cuquita", "Do") signal an excited/urgent tone.
For "Which words in the dialogue should you emphasize...": Emphasize "show", "Cuquita", "Do", "something" (to convey excitement/urgency).
