Long before you or I were born, there reigned, in a country a great way ott, a king who had three sons. This king once tell very

so ill that nobody thought he could live. His sons were very much grieved at their father's sickness, and as they were walking together very mournfully in the garden of the palace, a little old man met them and asked what was the matter. They told him that their father was very ill, and that they were afraid nothing could save him. "I know what would," said the little old man; "it is the Water of Life. If he could have a draught of it he would be well again; but it is very hard to get." Then the eldest son said, "I will soon find it and he went to the sick king, and begged that he might go in search of the Water of Life, as it was the only thing that could save him. "No," said the king. I had rather die than place you in such great danger as you must meet with In your journey." But he begged so hard that the king let him go; and the prince thought to himself, "If I bring my father this water, he will make me sole heir to his kingdom." Then he set out: and when he had gone on his way some time he came to a deep valley, overhung with rocks and woods; and as he looked around, he saw standing above him on one of the rocks a little ugly dwarf, with a sugarloaf cap and a scarlet cloak; and the dwarf called to him and said, "Prince, whither so fast?" ''What is that to thee, you ugly imp?" said the prince haughtily, and rode on. But the dwarf was enraged at his behavior, and laid a fairy spell of ill-luck upon him; so that as he rode on the mountain pass became narrower and narrower, and at last the way was so straitened that he could not go to step forward: and when he thought to have turned his horse round and go back the way he came, he heard a loud laugh ringing round him, and found that the path was closed behind him, so that he was shut in all round. He next tried to get off his horse and make his way on foot, but again the laugh rang in his ears, and he found himself unable to move a step and, thus he was forced to abide spellbound Select the correct answer. Based on the passage, who is most likely the major character in the story? А. the king B. the little old man C. the prince D. the dwarf E. the horse

Which sentence most strongly develops a negative tone?
Leokris [45]

I despise the fact that John is never on time when we have an appointment.

Option B has the most strongly developed negative tone. The author does this through the use of the words "despise" and "never". These words are strongly negative as they have little or no hope for something positive to occur. Option A uses negative words like unfortunately and canceled but these are merely disappointing. The words not and strange in C are negative but don't create a strong negative tone, just displeasure. Option D is similar in tone to A and C because the narrator is merely displeased and disappointed.
