Question

When he did speak, it was in a monotone, his eyes fixed elsewhere. How does the word monotone affect the tone of this excerpt?

Answer 1

Monotone means having no expression in your voice, no anger, no happiness, no interest. This word would affect the tone by giving the reader the feeling that he just doesn't care about what is going on/ what he's talking about. I hope this helped!

Answer 2

It conveys a tone of disengagement.
