Question

the proctor commanded, leaning forward on the desk.
\i felt it was the only appropriate answer,\ persephone
replied, looking down at her hands.
the proctor studied her. \you saw what i had and
knew, like two of your fellow students, that paper could
defeat me,\ he said. \so, why did you choose to tie the
game?\
persephone took a deep breath and met the proctor’s
gaze. \i knew that i could defeat you, but you didn’t ask me
to defeat you—you asked me to choose wisely. there is no
wisdom in wanting to destroy your rival; rather, it is unjust
to do so. it is also irresponsible to submit to your rival; one
must stand up for what one believes is right.\
she continued, \the wisest answer is to enter any
conflict as equals. the battle may be long, but in the end,
only equality leads to victory for everyone.\
the proctor’s expression softened as he leaned back in
his chair. \that is a hard lesson to learn: to choose fairness
over winning. to seek compromise with your enemies is to
find the truth. welcome to the legislature, decider
persephone.\
how do the underlined word
choices contribute to the tone in
this part of the story?
the proctor leans forward, commands
persephone to explain, and studies
her, showing he is
what she is saying. this creates a
tone. however, the tone
changes when the proctor’s face
softens and he leans back, showing he
is
with her answer.
