What tone does this passage convey? Angela wanted to try out for the softball team, but she kept thinking about how awful it felt when she did not make the team last year. She knew she had improved her skills over the summer. Her brother played catch with her almost every day, and she practiced at the batting cages about once per week. Despite her improvement, Angela thought she might not be good enough, so she decided not to sign up for the tryouts. optimistic humorous pessimistic satirical

Pessimistic. Angela is thinking of the worst-case scenario (being rejected from the team) and that keeps her from trying out.
