Aaron asked me why I looked frightened. What was I supposed to tell him? He was my friend, and he had rebuilt his car by himself

. He was so proud of it. He always talked about how the car was over 70 years old, as if that excused all the dents and the problems with the motor. As I looked over at him, I wanted to say, "The problem is that I don’t like barreling down the road in a tin can on wheels," but I wanted to keep the peace, so I said, "I’m not scared. Keep driving!"
What does the author mean by the figurative phrase "barreling down the road in a tin can on wheels"?

The author mean by the figurative phrase "barreling down the road in a tin can on wheels" that the car was very old and that he couldn't trust it. He was afraid that it could break down any time and there can be an accident.

These statements each express different tones. Match each statement with the appropriate tone.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct way of matching each statement with the appropriate tone is the following:

* Angry tone: the adjective “annoying” implies the angry tone of the speaker. (A cell phone can be annoying when you forget to turn on the silent feature before going to sleep)

* Accepting tone: the speaker acknowledges the problem with the battery, yet she/he accepts it by carrying a charger as a solution to it. (The problem is that the battery doesn’t last long, but I don’t mind carrying a charger)

* Objective tone: the speaker is objective by stating only facts about the device. (The cell phone makes calling convenient from all possible locations)

* Sentimental tone: the verb “cherish”, and the noun “gift” imply the sentimental tone of the speaker. (I will always cherish my first cell phone because it was a gift from my dad)

* Optimistic tone: the speaker has an optimistic tone, as she/he speaks about a possible future development. (I think we can soon expect a technology that charges phones in seconds)
