Question

Jeffrey dialed the combination and opened his gym locker. There was his navy blue backpack, hanging on the hook where he’d left it, but something seemed strange. Nothing looked tampered with, yet a chill ran up his back as took down his bag. He checked its contents carefully, but his books and papers were all there. Even his pack of gum was still in the side pocket. I must have been imagining things, he thought to himself as he put the bag on his back, closed the locker, and started out the school doors. Then he remembered: He’d put his new gym shoes in his backpack after PE class this morning because he wanted to wear them for basketball practice tonight! Jeffrey ran back to his locker, but they were nowhere in sight. 4 What kind of tone is evoked by the passage above? A. contentment B. anger C. happiness D. suspicion
