The correct answer is C. The dawn chorus of robins

Explanation:

In speeches and texts, the term tone refers to the author has about the subject or theme the author is speaking or writing about, this tone is usually expressed by the choice of words the author makes to refer to a situation or topic. Because of this depending on the author and the topic he or she is addressing the tone is different.

In the excerpt presented which belongs to "Silent Spring" a book written by Rachel Carson that explores the negative effects of the pesticides on the environment, the author aims at explaining the way spring was full of sounds of different birds but those have disappeared leading to a negative spring. Considering the author attitude is negative towards the situation of the silent spring but positive towards the past the phrase with the most positive tone is "the dawn chorus of robins" as this phrase refers to the past in which the spring had a lot of voices including those of the robins, a type of bird, also, this is only phrase depicting a positive aspect rather than the silent spring the author seems as negative.

Answer:

the dawn chorus of robins.

Explanation:

This phrase is the most positive one in this excerpt. In this paragraph, the author describes how the birds that once filled the morning with their song are all gone. The way she describes these birds is by calling them "the dawn chorus of robins," a phrase which conveys a happy image, and therefore, contributes to developing a positive tone. However, the rest of the passage is much more negative.

Friendship an asset or a liability essay​
tatyana61 [14]

Explanation:

‘Afriend in need is a friend indeed’. Heard this quotation million times, right? But have you ever fathomed the meaning of this line?

Well, having hundreds of friends is not a big thing, rather you should have at least one such friend who stands with you when the world is against you. That is your real asset beyond money and all other property. You might be a well off person but you’ll be poor unless you don’t have someone who’ll be there for you even at 12 at the night.Finding a true friend is hard and keeping it till your last breath is even harder. In our life, every relationship has its own importance but a friend’s relation outdoes all. Be it a parent-child or the husband-wife relation, there is always some exceptions, responsibilities, and duties from both sides. But you know there is a relationship which is above all, beyond all the expectations, demands, and conditions. Here,you find the never-dying love like your loved ones, the utmost care like your mother, a wholehearted support like a brother and a shielding protection like your parents and this relationship is called FRIEND.

Of course, all the relationships are founded on the base of unyielding trust and love but at some point, they get decrepit with the passage of time. Call it a priority change or the rough condition of life but it happens with everybody. It’s only the true friends who always walk with you through the thick and thin, cry in your sorrow, rejoice your happiness, listen to you, read your soul, correct you, scold you but at the same time love you unconditionally, genuinely, and immeasurably. The entire world will laugh at your failure and be jealous of your success but it’s only a loyal friend who becomes even happier than you in your property and stands by you like a steadfast pillar in your distress. At the bleak hours of misery and sorrow, even your loved ones might desert you but a true friend will always be there to lend a shoulder to cry on whenever you need it.

Luckiest are those, who have such faithfulfriends. Believe me, buddy! You must have done some good deeds that’s why God has blessed you with the most beautiful gift of life. People come and go in our life but it’s only a few who makes a place in heart. So make sure you don’t lose such gems in the hubbub of life.
