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.

What group of people is swift likely referring to by the name "big-endians" in
Gala2k [10]

The group of people is swift likely referred to by the name "big-endian" in this passage, c. blefuscudians. Thus, option "C" is correct.

<h3>In the story from gulliver's travels of how the dispute arose between the big-endians and the little-endians, the chief objects of swift's satire are?</h3>

In Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", the protagonist Lemuel Gulliver is the source of Swift's satirical and even outbursts for criticizing the political situation of England. He also uses numerous characters to satirize the English government and society as a whole.

In Chapter 4, Reldresal had narrated to Gulliver how the two nations of Lilliput and Blefuscu first came against each other.

The issue is the mere order of the then king to break their eggs from the small end, leading to the division among the people into Big-endians and Little-endians. This led to massive uproar, where "one emperor lost his life, and another his crown". Moreover, "eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death, rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end". This trivial issue which led to such massive conflict is a satire upon the trivial and petty nature of English people to easily get into conflicts.

Thus, option "C" is correct.
