Question

Select the best description for the statement: The snake we discovered hiding in the woodshed was nearly seven feet long.

a. Positive tone, literal
b. Neutral tone, literal
c. Positive tone, figurative
d. Neutral tone, figurative

Answer 1

It would be B Neutral tone, Literal. Ok to the reason it would be neutral is because it isn’t like positive or negative, it is just simply stating that the snake discovered in the woodshed was nearly seven feet long. And it would be literal because there isn’t like a hidden meaning in the sentence that you have to think about or like any figurative like such as similes or metaphors. It is telling us there is that there was literally a snake discovered hiding in the woodshed that was nearly 7 feet long
