the memoir has a shy tone; the poem has a bold tone.
the memoir has a fanciful tone; the poem has a factual tone.
the memoir has an uplifting tone; the poem has a depressing tone.
the memoir has an angry tone; the poem has an admiring tone.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the tones of the memoir My Story (by Rosa Parks) and the poem "On the Bus with Rosa Parks". The memoir recounts Parks' experience with anger at the injustice of segregation. The poem portrays Parks with admiration, highlighting her courage and significance.

• Option 1: The memoir is not shy; the poem’s tone isn’t just bold. Eliminate.
• Option 2: The memoir is factual (personal account), not fanciful. Eliminate.
• Option 3: The memoir is not uplifting (it’s about injustice), and the poem isn’t depressing. Eliminate.
• Option 4: The memoir has an angry tone (at segregation), and the poem has an admiring tone (of Parks’ bravery). This matches.

Answer:

D. The memoir has an angry tone; the poem has an admiring tone.
