Answer 2

The word that best describes the tone of this excerpt is "chaotic". The passage describes a scene of confusion and disorder as family members shout, run around, and try to get to the attic to retrieve the father's body. The door is stuck, and everyone's actions add to the noise and commotion. The use of words such as "frantic", "banging", and "confusion" also supports the idea of a chaotic tone.
