Read the excerpt from "One Minute Longer" by Albert Payson Terhune. This was not a quicksand, but it was a deep mud-bed. And onl
y by constant motion could he avoid sinking farther and farther down into it. He had less than two inches to spare, at best, before the water should fill his nostrils; less than two inches of life, even if he could keep the water down to the level of his lips. What is the tone of the excerpt? A depressed
B anxious
C excited
D determined
The excerpt is talking about a person that is quickly drowning in a mud bed, this is a weird way and hard way to drown because the mud of bed is a weir newtonian liquid that can act as a solid when hit, so the desperation of him knowing that he has to fight for his life, and that everysecond that he resists it he would be sinking more and more it´s what makes the tone of this excerp anxious.
