One example of the author keeping a lively tone even while discussing a disease is "The author humanizes the prion with playful language by saying '[i]f it..."

<h3>What is tone?</h3>

In literature, the term tone refers to the way an author or a narrator approaches a certain topic, that is, his attitude towards it. Examples of tone are the following:

  • Authoritative
  • Lively
  • Demanding
  • Humorous
  • Optimistic
  • Negative

The passage we are analyzing here manages to maintain a lively tone even though the author is describing a serious disease that affects cow. The reason why the tone is lively is the fact that the author humanizes the prion with playful language by saying "[i]f it manages to burrow into a corner." This conveys a funny, almost cute image, of how the protein that causes the disease functions.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer choice for this question.

Did Benvolio tell Romeo that Juliet is dead?
wariber [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

.1: Benvolio tries to stop a fight in the streets, but ends up taking part in it. Afterwards, he talks to Romeo's parents, and promises to find out why Romeo has been acting depressed. He meets up with Romeo, who tells him the problem is that he's in love with a girl who isn't interested in him.

1.2: In hopes of helping Romeo get over Rosaline, (the recipient of Romeo's unrequited love), Benvolio convinces Romeo to crash the Capulet party. They'll compare Rosaline to the other women there and will see that she's not all that.

1.4: He chills with Romeo and Mercutio

1.5: Benvolio has fun at the Capulet party, then tries to drag Romeo away once it's clear that the party's breaking up. Romeo, smitten with Juliet, refuses to leave.

2.1: Benvolio and Mercutio try to figure out where Romeo disappeared to. They soon give up and head home.

2.4: The next day Benvolio and Mercutio still don't know where Romeo is. They know that Tybalt has challenged their friend to a duel. Benvolio says he is sure Romeo will uphold his honor and fight Tybalt. When the Nurse shows up, Benvolio joins Romeo and Mercutio in the general mockery of this poor woman.

3.1: As usual, Benvolio tries to avoid fighting with the Capulets, but gets drawn in anyway. When Tybalt strolls in, Benvolio tries to get everybody to calm down. He tells Mercutio and Tybalt either to chill or to continue their argument in private. As usual, nobody listens. Benvolio witnesses Tybalt and Mercutio's duel, and he is with Mercutio when he dies. Then he watches Romeo and Tybalt fight. When Tybalt dies, Benvolio tells Romeo he has to run away or the Prince will put him to death. When the Prince arrives at the scene of the slaughter, Benvolio explains what has happened.
