Question

She said, "Younger sister,

You are the owner of sons,
If you ask us for baobab leaves, what are we supposed to do?
Your lame son is sitting right there inside the house.
You are alone in your search for baobab leaves.
Why don't you tell your son to get up and walk?"

Which word best describes the tone created in these lines?
-indignant
-inquisitive
-insistent
-intrigued

Answer 1

Indignant

Step-by-step explanation:

While some words may give the idea of a persistent petition, the most suitable choice would be Indignant. One of the main clues towards this conclusion is the use of the adjective "lame" on the part of the speaker to refer to her nephew. This indignation is implied even further through her suggestion to her sister to tell her son to "get up and walk" implying he has nothing better to do at that moment.

Answer 2

-indignant

Step-by-step explanation:

In the epic Malinke poem "Sunjata," the speaker expresses feelings of annoyance at the fact that the woman must look for baobab leaves on her own. The reason is that the woman has sons who can help her. According to legend, Sunjata is unable to walk normally because of an illness or injury affecting his leg or foot. As a result, he cannot help his ugly mother, who is forced to look for baobab leaves by herself.
