Question

Which phrase most contributes to this passage's sad and isolated tone?

will never forget that lonesome hill of stone that is her
final bed, as it fades from my sight. tread softly by my
uncle, my hand in his. I walk with my head turned, watching
that small hill as it fades from my sight. The soldiers make
us continue walking. My uncle talks to me, trying to
comfort me. I walk in loneliness."
Michael Rutledge, "Samuel's Memory"
A
A. fades from my sight
•
B. trying to comfort me
• C. walk with my head turned
• D. my uncle talks to me

Answer 1

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

C. and D. are phrases that do not imply any kind of emotional tone. B. can be misinterpreted as describing heart-warming scene. A. is the best answer because "fades from my sight" gives the depiction that the author is forced to watch as something dear to him slowly becomes more and more distant. Stay cool.<3
