Question

It took me nine hours to make, and I had thought about giving it to Sonny, the homeless person who I sometimes see standing outside the Alliance Française, because he puts me in heavy boots, or maybe to Lindy, the neat old woman who volunteers to give tours at the Museum of Natural History, so I could be something special to her, or even just to someone in a wheelchair. But instead I gave it to Mom. She said it was the best gift she’d ever received.

Which word from this excerpt most reveals the tone?
homeless, because the narrator uses the word “homeless” to describe someone he met
heavy, because the narrator’s list of ideas is bizarre and a bit outrageous
neat, because the narrator seems carefree and without worry
special, because it implies confidence

Answer 1

The correct answer is heavy, because the narrator’s list of ideas is bizarre and a bit outrageous

He has these numerous bizarre ideas what he could do with the thing he made while the most obvious one is to give it to someone like his mom.

Answer 2

The excerpt revolves around the boot. The author describes the event and concludes that he gave it as a gift. In the options, only the word heavy is connected to boot and it draws the exact tone for the excerpt. Therefore, the correct option is the second one.
