Highlight text formatting and punctuation marks that signal that the reader should change tone. It was an unbelievably detailed dream: the bike had a purple metallic finish and was parked next to the wine cabinet. He even knew the sequence of the combination lock: 12345. He couldn't forget that now, could he? Well, in the middle of the night, still woozy with sleep, he staggered down to the basement in his pajamas, and what did he find next to the wine cabinet? A dead mouse. That was a low blow! —The Number Devil, Hans Magnus Enzenberger Which kind of punctuation tells the reader to end the sentence with a higher tone of voice? a question mark an exclamation point a period a comma

(A) question mark, because when you ask a question it lowers your voice and that means your thinking, and confused, so it lowers your voice. Plus i got it right also, If your pitch bends down as you approach the end of the sentence, then you are using “down speak,” or what linguists refer to as “falling intonation.” If your pitch increases steadily as you approach the end of the sentence, rising up toward the end of the word “Monday,” then you used “high rising terminal,” or “upspeak". Thank you!!
