<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>

<span>Holden has regard for others? Yeah. So what? That doesn't contribute much to Salinger's purpose here. Holden seeks connection. He also seeks to find (and preserve) something pure in a corrupt world. That should be the focal point of your analysis of his interaction with these types of characters in the </span>novel<span>. </span>
it’s either b or d but i’m pretty sure it’s d
