Read this excerpt from "Nixon Resigns" by Carroll Kilpatrick:

“This more than anything is what I hoped to achieve when I sought the presidency,” Mr. Nixon said. “This more than anything is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the presidency.”


How does Nixon’s formal language affect the tone of this statement reported in the article?


It creates a cynical tone that shows he is in disbelief of his situation.

It creates a confident tone that shows he believes people will remember him well.
It creates a heavy-hearted tone that shows Nixon possesses remorse.

It creates an indifferent tone that shows Nixon is unconcerned with the events.
