Question

Compare these two passages from "The Yellow Wallpaper."

And she is all the time trying to climb through. But nobody could climb through that pattern it strangles so. I think that is why it has so many heads.

But here I can creep smoothly on the floor, and my shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so I cannot lose my way.Which words from the passages best express their disturbing tones?
A.Many/Fits
B.Time/Shoulder
C.Climb/Floor
D.Strangles/Creep

Answer 1

D. Strangles/Creeps. That seems to be the best answer.

Answer 2

Answer: D. Strangles/Creep.

Step-by-step explanation: The tone of a text or sentence is the author's or speaker's attitude towards the audience, the subject or even the characters of the text. There are many different kinds of tones, like: positive, negative, objective, sad, angry, etc. In both the given excerpts we can indentify a disturbing tone, created by their word choices, the words that best express this tone are "strangles" in the first excerpt, and "creep" in the second one.
