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>

Robert Frosts "The road not taken" gives us a sense of choices, a path that we may chose for ourselves. For we will never know what either hold, but only what we seek. Both writers show ways life may be lived, however they show opposing view points on how it is lived. They bring us to the same question many ask themselves, do we chose our fate, or does fate chose us?
