Question

4) If you read the following excerpt in a third-person omniscient point of view:

"Akeem was a dedicated student who also cared about his fellow students," you would
believe that the author's tone was one of ____ Akeem.

A)admiration for
B)disgust for
C)indifference toward
D)hatred toward
E)sympathy for

Answer 1

A. admiration for

The author is expressing their positive opinions towards Akeem. Thus, disgust would not make sense.

They are definitely taking a stance on Akeem’s character, so indifference is not the best answer.

The author is positively describing Akeem, so they likely do not hate him.

The author is not seemingly feeling sympathetic towards Akeem, but rather admiring his behavior, thus A would be the most precise answer.
