Question

read the excerpt from silent spring. on the farms the hens brooded, but no chicks hatched. the farmers complained that they were unable to raise any pigs—the litters were small and the young survived only a few days. the apple trees were coming into bloom but no bees droned among the blossoms, so there was no pollination and there would be no fruit. the repetition of the word
o\ in this excerpt helps create a tone of motivation. doom. acceptance. violence.

Explanation:

The excerpt from "Silent Spring" describes negative impacts: no chicks hatched, few pigs raised, no bees for pollination leading to no fruit. The repetition of "no" emphasizes a sense of loss and a grim, hopeless situation, which aligns with a tone of doom. Motivation implies encouragement (not here), acceptance is embracing (opposite of the negative events), and violence involves harm (not present). So the correct option is about doom.

Answer:

B. doom
