Look at the lyrics to “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson.



I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm asking him to change his ways

And no message could have been any clearer

If you want to make the world a better place

(If you want to make the world a better place)

Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)



What is the tone of this excerpt?

Question 1 options:

frightened


optimistic


depressed


angry

Answer 1

Meredith's smile was as beautiful as my mother's. Optimistic

Answer 2

Meredith's smile was as beautiful as my mother's because that doesn't refer to anything popular, per se.
And the Michael Jackson song has an optimistic tone.
Hope this helps!
