Question

In Walden, Thoreau writes, “Love your life, poor as it is.” This is an example of the writer’s _____ tone.

A. philosophical
B. formal
C. conversational
D. metaphorical

Answer 1

The answer is "A", philospohical

Answer 2

A. philosophical

Step-by-step explanation:

It isn't really formal. It has nothing to indicate formality or a conversation in the sentence. It can't really be metaphorical since there's no sign of figurative language either. It seems to be an idea of how the life must be appreciated. A lesson, maybe.

One of the definitions of philosophical is: "having or showing a calm attitude toward disappointments or difficulties."

this seems to fit quite well
