These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the serv

ice of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: ’Tis dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it should be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but ‘to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,’ and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious, for so unlimited a power can belong only to GOD.

Read the excerpt from "50 Below is Quite Cold, Even for Alaska."
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

It creates a sarcastic tone.

Explanation:

The definition of the word <em>balmy </em>is <em>characterized by pleasantly warm weather.</em> This word is used to describe the minus 20 degrees, which is horribly cold, but still not as cold as Alaska usually is. This combination of words creates a paradox - how can minus 20 degrees be balmy? It is not - the author is just being sarcastic. That's how the use of the word <em>balmy</em> creates a sarcastic tone.

Answer:

Catherine Roerva Pelzer is the antagonist of A Child Called “It”. For years, she abuses her son, Dave Pelzer, for reasons that are never made clear: she hits him, burns his arm, forces him to eat feces and vomit, and starves him for days at a time. While Dave suggests that Mother is a heavy drinker and may suffer from depression, he doesn’t offer any theories about why she singles him out for abuse, or what motivates her to continue abusing him year after year. Sometimes, her cruel behavior seems sloppy and half-accidental—for example, when she drunkenly stabs Dave. But on other occasions, the memoir shows that Mother’s cruelty is premeditated and cunningly designed to make Dave suffer as greatly as possible. Even more bafflingly, Mother sometimes treats Dave with love and tenderness and then returns to abusing him—again, readers never understand why. The result is that, even by the end of the memoir, Mother embodies evil, which can be neither explained nor understood. She’s a force of pure malevolence, which Dave must escape at all costs.

Which sentence best explains how the tone reveals the narrator’s perspective?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A). The narrator is frightened because she is Muslim making a Catholic confession.

Explanation:

The tone is described as the approach or attitude of the author towards a particular subject matter reflected through the choice of words or language employed. It serves to provide the audience with a perspective or viewpoint to consider or look at a particular text and enhances their curiosity to read and evoke the desired feeling or response that the author intends to invoke.

As per the question, the sentence that best reveals how the tone discloses the author's attitude/perspective is displayed through option A as the description 'frightened...Muslim making a Catholic confession' reflects the author's perspective towards portraying the strict religious beliefs and terror associated with it(being declared as a heretic). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
