Question

Read the passage from "Stray".

But she rose up heavily.

Her parents were sitting at the table, dinner over, drinking coffee. They looked at her when she came in, but she kept her head down. No one spoke.

Doris made herself a glass of powdered milk and drank it all down. Then she picked up a cold biscuit and started out of the room.

"You'd better feed that mutt before it dies of starvation," Mr. Lacey said.

Doris turned around.

"What?"

"I said, you'd better feed your dog. I figure it's looking for you."

At the beginning, the tone is quiet and mournful; then it becomes confused, then angry.

Answer 1

I believe the answer would be D.

Answer 2

Option 4. At the beginning, the tone is quiet and mournful; then it becomes confused, then angry.

Its because it starts off a bit quiet and slow and then takes a turn when Mr. Lacey states, "You'd better feed that mutt before it dies of starvation," which put off an angry tone, and then the girl acts confused.
