Read this paragraph from the article, "Caring for Vets Should Be National Duty."

Truly comprehensive care would not only fix the VA but expand it to empower injured veterans with economic opportunities, peer-to-peer engagement, and group-centric mental health programs that utilize injured veterans' greatest tool for overcoming battle-born trauma: each other.

Which word best describes the tone of the paragraph?


compassionate

reassuring

disappointed

forceful

I'd say Compassionate.

While it is clear and straightforward, I don't think the author was being forceful. Nothing was being forced onto anyone. Reassuring? Partly, but the purpose is not to reassure; the author is providing a claim and stance on a controversial issue. The tone is not disappointed, either.

Compassionate would be the best answer. The author is using emotional and thiecal appeals, or pathos and ethos.
