The correct answer is B. It makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past
Explanation:
In literature, the tense used in a narrative affect the atmosphere of it and the perception the audience has on events. In the case presented an excerpt for The War of the Worlds has been adapted for radio and in this process, the tense has changed from past to present tense. In both cases, one character who is also the narrator describes the way he or she observed an object or creature that resembled a snake.
However, in the case of the original excerpt the use of past shows this event already occurred and the character is just reporting them, while in the case of the second excerpt the use of present means the character is experiencing the events at that moment or that the story is happening which makes the actions go faster but also makes the story more dynamic and alive. Considering this, it can be concluded the effect of changing the tense to present is that it makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past.
<em>Sympathetic</em> is the correct option.
The character, Lizabeth, is an adult and she is remembering Miss Lottie's house. As an adult, Lizabeth can see the house with different eyes and understand why the woman kept the house in such a bad condition. This was because of the Great Depression that hit the U.S during the 1930's. The character's sympathetic tone can be noticed when she said there was a sort of <em>enchantment stronger that the elements</em> that had kept the house throughout the years.
These optionsa re not right:
-hopeless: Lizabeth was a girl during the Great Depression and she was not hopelss. When she became and adult ,she understood why Miss Lottie kept marigolds in her ruined house. The flowers meant " hope".
-bitter. In this excerpt, the tone is sympathetic. Lizabeth was angry when she was a girl.
-humorous: The character does not sound funny. There is nothing funny in her words.
