Question

Read the excerpt from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

Cautiously, I climbed from the bed, careful not to awaken Big Ma, who was still snoring soundly, and crept to the door. I pressed my ear against the door and listened, then slipped the latch furiously and darted outside. "Boy, what you doing here?" I hissed.

Which words from the excerpt best help the reader determine an angry tone?

“furiously” and “hissed”
“careful” and “crept”
“door” and “latch”
“listened” and “slipped”

Answer 1

the first answer furiosly and hissed

Answer 2

Answer: “furiously” and “hissed”

Explanation: Since "furiously" means "in an extremely angry manner" and "hissed" means "something like disapproval". Those two words would be the closest to an "angry tone".
