Question

napoleons return (1815)
date | newspaper headline
mar 9 | the demon has escaped his place of banishment!
mar 13 | the tyrant is now at lyons. fear and terror seized the people!
mar 20 | napoleon will reach paris tomorrow.
mar 22 | his majesty the emperor made his public entry. nothing can exceed the universal joy.
how did the headlines change as napoleon got closer to paris and the seat of government?
○ they were more negative.
○ the tone remained the same.
○ they became more alarmist.
○ they became more flattering.

Explanation:

• On Mar 9, the headline is negative ("demon...escaped").
• On Mar 13, it's alarmist/negative ("tyrant...Fear and terror").
• On Mar 20, it's neutral (just stating his arrival).
• On Mar 22, it's flattering ("His Majesty...universal joy"). As Napoleon got closer to Paris, the tone shifted from negative/alarmist to flattering, acknowledging him as "His Majesty" and emphasizing joy. The other options don't fit: "more negative" and "more alarmist" are early tones, not later; "tone remained same" is false as tone clearly changed.

Answer:

They became more flattering.
