Answer: A. Sinking.

Explanation: The tone of a story or a text is the author's or speaker's attitude towards the subject, the audience or even the characters of the text.

Considering you said "Explain how to play Memory, Pictionary, or Charades." I will describe how to play memory.

Out of all these games, memory is by far the easiest. All it takes is memorization (Hence the word memory.)

Memory is a game including cards. On those cards are images. The images can be anything depending on the image. (Themes can be Disney, Food, Movies, Movie characters, etc. Anything you want) There are 2 cards that have the same images. You and your parter(s) take turns flipping over cards. You want to find the same card. if you flipped over a "blue" card, you will be looking for a blue card." You can only flip over one card at a time, and you can move of of other people's moves. It's a really simple game.

3 movies and 15 commercials

Explanation:

1 movies is equal to $110 so 3 movies will give Austin $330 meaning we only need $450 remaining to make the given amount so 15 commercials will make $450. So in total the 3 movie ($330) plus the 15 commercials ($450) will make the given amount ($780) meaning his songs where played in 3 movies and 15 commercials.
