Answer:

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

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

Explanation:

<u>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. </u>The only way for the author to convey such sensations and emotions is by choosing words that are connected to them.

<u>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.</u> Lighter words would be used to describe them. <u>Now, if people drag their feet and grope around while sobbing, we can sense they are distressed.</u>

Answer:

C. using gestures and facial expressions

Explanation:

c. using gestures and facial expressions

Nonverbal means not speaking. The answer choice must be one that does not involve words or speaking. The only option that does not have spoken words is option c. When people use gestures and facial expressions, they are adding a nonverbal layer of communication to their speech. Options A, B and D are all verbal strategies.

C is the obvious answer because a involves talking and b shows the same thing. D shows how people use different words which is talking. Gestures and facial expressions use hand and face, not your voice.

C is the obvious answer because a involves talking and b shows the same thing. D shows how people use different words which is talking. Gestures and facial expressions use hand and face, not your voice.
