<em>Which word best describes the tone of this excerpt?</em>

<em>The correct answer is D. Sympathetic</em>

  • <em>The word that best describes the tone is sympathetic. When the driver says, “Times are changed, don’t you know?” is looking for a change in the mind of his listener. He is trying to cause a reaction so that the listener makes sense of the reality. In the sentence, “Get your three dollars a day, feed your kids” The driver is asking his listener to do the actions that matter, he is asking the listener not to deviate from the path that is going to take him or her to live day by day. During the complete excerpt, the driver is showing compassion and sensitivity to the listener’s emotions.</em>

The correct answer and the word that best describes the tone of this excerpt from John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" (1939) is A. Disgusted.

This excerpt belongs to chapter 5 of "The Grapes of Wrath", in which banks and landowners decide to evict farmers from their lands because they cannot make high profits from that farming model. The sentence "times are changed" points to this fact. Tractors arrive to the farmlands to evict the farmers and plow the land, razing the farmhouse if necessary. The farmers protested against it and against the people driving the tractors, usually their own neighbors. The driver is disgusted with the situation because they are also facing problems and cannot think about other families. Their own families are starving and the bank pays three dollars a day for this job, so while they are disgusted, they have to take care of their own kids.

In night, Moishe the Beadle is a deeply devout student of Jewish mysticism, but after seeing what the Nazis have done “He no lon
natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all a Beadle is a minor official in a synagogue hyrarchary. He may also be a church official in Christian Churches.

Second, you really have to know what Kabbalah is. Kabbalah is the mystic part of Jewish theology. It is not in the Bible as we understand what is supposed to be in the Bible. Anyone who studies Kabbalah is considered very devout. Few Women read Kabbalah, but like everything else, there are exceptions.

Third, not offered as a choice but I think you should know it anyway, the guards would have no idea what Moishe was saying or the incantations he repeated. But the Officers were likely educated enough that they knew what was happening.  

Moishe was clever enough that he knew he was making a spectacle of himself. He knew that he had better stop drawing attention attention to himself.

So he, like all the other Jews, only spoke of things that was around him. I could have started just by giving you the answer, but this question is far to important just to do that.

How dare the person giving the question offer you C. It is an outrage. We are talking about survival, not learning during peaceful times. Not C

Moishe might have begun thinking about A. He changed. I don't think A is the answer.

B is true, but not from this passage.

So D is the only answer (poor as it is).
