Question

At James’s funeral, his sister spoke to the hundreds of people who came to pay their last respects. She said, “My brother James was a man who did his best at what he loved to do. He was rewarded with medals, trophies, awards, and money. Yet, he died alone and without a friend in the world.”

The tone of the funeral speech is one of

a
Hopelessness
b
Sadness
c
Optimism
d
Joy

Answer 1

B is the answer because his sister clearly said that James died without having a friend,so that's a touching part even through he won so many awards.

Answer 2

The answer is hopelessness. She speaks on how her brother won these awards and how he did his best, but despite it all he died without a friend, making it seem like he did all that for nothing.
