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.

Read the excerpt from “Speaking Arabic.”
guajiro [1.7K]

The correct answer is; presenting dialogue that includes a contrasting perspective.

Indeed, there is a hint of irony in the description that immediately follows the dialogue. The immediate landscape is used to show the “heritage-deprived” person that he actually does have a heritage. In other words, he does not need to be a hyphenated American in order to have a heritage because it is right there “dangling over his head”.

The symbolism of the “tall American tree” is used to show how the speaker of these lines that America has its own heritage, which lies in  its history, its melting pot and its territory and he cannot even see it. It is this symbolism that provides the contrasting perspective.
