Answer:

The words from the excerpt that best help the reader determine a tone of distress are:

B. "sob," "groped," and "dragging"

Explanation:

Tone is conveyed through word choice, in literature. It helps readers understand what the narrator and/or other characters are feeling, or what the situation is supposed to inspire in readers. The only way for the author to convey such sensations and emotions is by choosing words that are connected to them.

In the passage we are analyzing here, the words "sob," "groped," and "dragging" convey distress. Distress means extreme anxiety or extreme sorrow, suffering, affliction. A person who is not feeling anxious, sad, or suffering is not likely to sob, to grope, or to drag. Lighter words would be used to describe them. Now, if people drag their feet and grope around while sobbing, we can sense they are distressed.

Answer:

C). Fearfulness

Explanation:

Repetition is one of the most commonly employed literary devices which helps the author to captivate the readers' attention and emphasize a particular idea or event in the narrative.

In Equiano's narrative, the repetition of words 'horror and horrors' throws light upon the inconceivable fearfulness felt by the African slaves. The fear and terror was so extreme in America that they were willing to commit sui-cide. The narrative primarily aims to emphasize the pathetic condition of the slaves and encourage the idea of keeping humanity over everything. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
