Lauguage that is not too difficult for a target audience to read and understand
What is Momaday's tone in the passage?
The correct answer is letter A: reverent/respectful
The tone is a device that the writer uses to show his attitude or feelings and to create an effect on the reader.
In this passage, the writer shows his position of reverent and respectful for the cow, because it is an animal with fearful-looking but he knows that they are not in danger at all. Besides, Momaday shows reverent and respectful for life when he describes the following situation: "...our hearts were beating fast and we knew just then what it was to be alive."
Questions with the word "how" in it allow the reader to understand what is happening in a given situation.
Hope this helped
