Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D. jealous

Step-by-step explanation:

The best word that describes the tone created by the underlined words is "jealous".

The underlined in the excerpt, "anxiously", "lost", "angry", "run" and "quick" gives the tone that shows that the white rabbit is jealous. This is true because we discover that when the Rabbit sighted Alice, she angrily questioned her what she was doing outside.

The excerpt reveals that the White Rabbit sent Alice home to go and get the gloves and fan. Her tone of reply to Alice depicted jealousy.

Option D is the correct answer.
