Answer:

C). The word "pretending" creates a suspicious tone.

Explanation:

The Tone is described as the author's approach or attitude towards a specific subject matter which offers a perspective to view the content and evokes the desired feeling from them. It is reflected through the words and language and words employed by the author.

In the given excerpt, the use of the word 'pretending' connotes a 'suspicious tone' as it conveys that the speaker is skeptical of her actions. He <u>suspects that if she loves him truly and questions her actions(as reflected in the sentence 'the very minute I go to my bed...runs in the yard')</u>. This helps the readers in viewing the text accordingly and feeling suspicious of the upcoming events in the narrative. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

This is an example of territorial marker, more specifically a central marker.

Explanation:

By definition, nonverbal is the communication that takes place without depending on words, written or spoken. It may happen through gestures, body language, looks, attitudes etc.

In the situation we are analyzing here, Kristen is using a nonverbal clue. Without saying a word to anybody, she is communicating that a certain seat is taken by her, and that she intends to return to it. That is an example of a territorial marker, more specifically a central marker.  A central marker is an item that is placed in a territory to reserve it for a specific person.
