Answer: The tone in this excerpt is solemn, witty, outspoken and persuasive.

Explanation: The tone of a literary work can be understood as the approach or the attitude that the writer conveys towards the subject of his or her work. Even though Angelou is certainly referring to the harhsness that those working in plantations picking up cotton and other products had to endure, particularly in the last hours of the day, when "nature's blessing of grogginess, forgetfulness and the soft lamplight" had faded, hers, I believe, is not a resentful or an outraged tone, at least not in this excerpt. Instead, the tone of the author in this excerpt is solemn, witty, outspoken and persuasive, and it relates to her difficult upbringing and her personal experience as a Civil Rights advocate and activist.

She means that being a black southerner sucked, but it sucked even worse in the hot summer afternoons, which were hot and humid and uncomfortable and by which time everybody had been working hard all day, than in the mornings, when it was more comfortable and people had just gotten out of bed and weren't completely awake and aware of their lousy situation in life.

Read the excerpts, paying special attention to the underlined sections. How does the theme differ in the two excerpts?

Okay, so this is a little hard to answer when you do not have the excerpts, but I will try my best to work a answer out of the headings.  I think your answer would be C. It makes sense, the info that comes after the titles, so If I were you I would go with C.

I hope that helps.

Tell me which highlighted sentence is independent
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

"Today's medical students owe a debt to Dr. Henry Gray"

Explanation:

An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can stand alone and still be a complete sentence. A complete sentence has a subject and a verb.

In the problem, the independent clause is "Today's medical students owe a debt to Dr. Henry Gray". This is because we can take this section of the sentence out of the original and it can still make sense by itself since it has the subject ("students") and the verb ("owe").

The other part of the sentence is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone: while it does have a verb "is", it does not have a main subject to go with that verb.

Hope this helps!

Which would be the BEST resource for comparing and contrasting information on cancer diseases with the information in this dicti
tia_tia [17]

The best resource for comparing and contrasting information on cancer diseases would be option C --The science of malignant tumors. Option A is about how to beat a specific type of cancer but it does not compare or contrast information on different types of cancer. Option B seems to be a kind of biography, which may or may not contain specific information about cancer. Option D is a medical dictionary which probably contains information about different kinds of cancer, but to use it, the reader should know what word to look up. Option C is the only one addressing malignant tumors, and therefore, it is to be expected to provide information to compare and contrast different types of cancer.
