Long did the hours seem while I waited the departure of the company, and listened for the sound of Bessie's step on the stairs:

sometimes she would come up in the interval to seek her thimble or her scissors, or perhaps to bring me something by way of supper—a bun or a cheese-cake—then she would sit on the bed while I ate it, and when I had finished, she would tuck the clothes round me, and twice she kissed me, and said, "Good night, Miss Jane." When thus gentle, Bessie seemed to me the best, prettiest, kindest being in the world; and I wished most intensely that she would always be so pleasant and amiable, and never push me about, or scold, or task me unreasonably, as she was too often wont to do. Bessie Lee must, I think, have been a girl of good natural capacity, for she was smart in all she did, and had a remarkable knack of narrative; so, at least, I judge from the impression made on me by her nursery tales. 1 Select the correct answer. Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt? A. ironic B. indignant C. admiring D. dejected

In my opinion, the correct answer is C. they found the charge and trouble very great, and they had little or no crop. This passage from Gulliver's Travels tells us about a weird and absurd innovation of "plowing" by spreading mast all over the field and letting pigs run for it and dig it out from the soil. This venture is obviously a disastrous one, and it is clearly an understatement to say that it brought great trouble and little results. The truth was probably that it brought no results at all, while being expensive, futile and foolish.
