Answer: this question isn’t detailed enough, so I am not sure, but I will try my best to help.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, I don’t know Samantha’s tone, but I can give examples of tones and hope she used one.
If the character said something, such as “hey there, John!” or “wassup, carol!” And was kind throughout the story or passage, it could have been a friendly tone.
If the character said something, such as “Greetings, how has your day been, Bobby?” or “Salutations, Anne”, And was like that throughout the story or passage, it could be a serious tone.
If the character said something like “Hey, loser! Get out of here!” or “Oh,look, it’s little Kevin.. boo-hoo,” and mocked and made fun of them, it could have been a mocking tone.
Let’s hope these helped.
