The correct answer is <em>C, regretful</em>. This is because the narrator is talking about the past and feels bad because she couldn't do anything to change it. In fact, she regrets that she couldn't attend to the same school that her best friends moved to.

C. regretful

Questions about tone (and mood as well) all depend on feelings. The best way to approach these questions is to think about whether or not it has a positive feeling or a negative feeling. In this passage the narrator says, " I hate the fact that I had to leave Hidaya." She also says, "I begged my parents..." Neither of these quotes shows that there is a positive feeling to this passage. She is not getting what she wants and because of this has to leave her friends. Any and all answers that have a positive connotation must be eliminated. Therefore, B and D are immediately not correct. Nostalgic also has a positive connotation so it should be eliminated as well. This only leaves regretful. We know that regretful is correct because of the line " I hate the fact that I had to leave Hidaya."

Gemiola [76]

In the sentence: "We would like to work in the soup kitchen <u>more frequently</u> next year", the degree of comparison of the underlined adverb is B. Comparative.
