If my memory is correct... Odysseus had to get away from the Cyclops, so logically, wouldn't it be diligence, since he is trying to figure out how to get away from the Cyclops?

<h3>What is tone?</h3>
In literature, the term tone refers to the way an author or a narrator approaches a certain topic, that is, his attitude towards it. Examples of tone are the following:
The passage we are analyzing here manages to maintain a lively tone even though the author is describing a serious disease that affects cow. The reason why the tone is lively is the fact that the author humanizes the prion with playful language by saying "[i]f it manages to burrow into a corner." This conveys a funny, almost cute image, of how the protein that causes the disease functions.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer choice for this question.

Answer:
(edit) So sorry about the old answer, I didn't catch the part when you said to explain how the writing engages the readers into it. The writer has presented this is a way that engages the readers by putting in all 5 senses, such as "straining to hear the volcano", "sulphurous stench", etc etc. He has also provided extremely descriptive language, and some figurative language as well. He vividly describes whats going on, and it's like you're right there when it's happening. He even includes dialouge, and writes it in 'first person', which is a great way to let the readers imagine what's going on as if they were there. Hope this helps!
