Answer:
D. Suspenseful.
Explanation:
Suspense is the feeling of uncertainty, unknown of what is to happen in the coming scenes. This narrative tone is used by writers to present their readers with an uncertain future, captivating their attention so that they are compelled to stay on course and keep on reading.
In the given excerpt from Piri Thomas's "Amigo Brothers," the tone used is that of suspense. The two boxers were competing to win against the other, so much that they <em>"were past hearing" </em>even after the <em>"bell sounded over and over again." </em>They had to be separated by<em> "the referee and two trainers"</em>, and <em>"cold water [...] poured over them to bring them back to their senses."</em> And once that happened, the two <em>"looked around and rushed toward each other",</em> not certain of what is to happen. The narrator's question <em>"Was this a fight to the death instead of a boxing match?"</em> leaves the narration mid-way, leaving us blind about what happened after that.
Thus, the correct answer is suspenseful tone.
Answer: an encyclopedia article about the Civil War
Explanation:
An encyclopedia article is always the best source when trying to achieve a credible and accurate account of a historical event.
Letters from soldiers fighting in the Civil War might provide great insight, but their records will be quite subjective. The same happens with a user-uploaded video reenactment. A wiki user-generated content is not trustworthy enough. And the map might be useful but require further investigation to be used in the report.
Dialogue is another way to introduce a character. Maybe the author wanted to introduce the characters the way the same way the character met all four of the boys. Maybe to get an idea of the personality of each boy without using a paragraph to explain who they were. Hope this helped!
