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.

Pollution does not generally impact the safety of outdoor activities since it s generally restricted to cities.
Alik [6]
Wrong. Pollution DOES generally impact the safety of outdoor activities EVEN TO THE restricted to cities. Pollution does not choose a specific place, wherever it could affect, it will be affected. Since we are living in this planet, pollution affects everyone even though the cause is continents away. Every thing we do creates a ripple effect to the society as well as their outdoor activities since (e.g. smog) is everywhere. <span> </span>

Reread line 167-182. What is ironic about this discovery? In the pardoners tale
raketka [301]

Answer:

The expected outcome of the scene was that the rioters would meet a monstrous being "Death" but instead, they found gold.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of stories told by the traveling pilgrims to Canterbury. One of them was a pardoner who tells the story of the three rioters and their greed.

In "<em>The Pardoner's Tale</em>", three rioters who had done nothing except revel and drink and enjoy were told by one of their servants that his relative had been killed by Death. In drunken anger, they went in search of this person. On the way, they met an old man who told them he's been waiting for Death, and he's just left him under an oak tree. When they reached there, they found no one but instead found eight bushels of gold coins. This is ironic as the expected result will either be a beast or anything that will personify death but instead gold greeted them. Also, it is ironic as this discovery will lead to their deaths later on.
