English question below
Marysya12 [62]
The answer would be that the tone is peaceful because it sounded like the lady gave him something and that's why he's saying thank you. It's not really joyful and the boy didn't do crazy things so that eliminates suspensful and joyful. The reason I didn't choose angry and violent is because even thought she shut the door, she didn't slam the door. So Peaceful is the answer

According to "The Great Depression," why was the prosperity of the 1920s "unsustainable"?
garik1379 [7]
The 1920's was a time of sensational economic growth and progress. Mass produced goods such as clothing, radios and cars were in abundance. The stock market boomed and most Americans benefited. But there was also economic inequality, thus the prosperity of the 1920's was unsustainable.
