Question

I shared with her my boring life-

Missing fun and lacking friends.
She said, "The effort that you make-
On that all happiness depends."


How does the author's word choice here affect the tone of the poem?


A. It conveys a mocking tone because the speaker is very condescending.


B. It conveys a confusion because the speaker doesn't want to change.


C. It conveys a sarcastic tone because the speaker is very angry.


D. It conveys a gloomy tone because the speaker is unhappy.

Answer 1

I would go with option D because the author is talking about their “boring life” and “lacking friends and missing fun”. And than it ends with “The effort that you make on that all happiness depends.” so maybe they ARENT happy. They are unhappy.
