Explanation: The tone of a text or sentence is the author's or speaker's attitude towards the audience, the subject or even the characters of the text. There are many different kinds of tones, like: positive, negative, objective, sad, angry, etc. In the given excerpt from "Nixon Resigns" by Carroll Kilpatrick we can see that the use of language (words like: error, deeply regret, course of events, etc) creates a formal and sincere tone.
I remember that story and I think it was because the things that he was saying was misleading because he said "help NO ONE IS POKING MY EYE" or something like that and the others just ignored that.
