Answer:
The words from the excerpt that best help the reader determine a tone of distress are:
B. "sob," "groped," and "dragging"
Explanation:
<u>Tone is conveyed through word choice, in literature. It helps readers understand what the narrator and/or other characters are feeling, or what the situation is supposed to inspire in readers. </u>The only way for the author to convey such sensations and emotions is by choosing words that are connected to them.
<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the words "sob," "groped," and "dragging" convey distress. Distress means extreme anxiety or extreme sorrow, suffering, affliction. A person who is not feeling anxious, sad, or suffering is not likely to sob, to grope, or to drag.</u> Lighter words would be used to describe them. <u>Now, if people drag their feet and grope around while sobbing, we can sense they are distressed.</u>

Explanation:
I was recently interviewed by a local publication that features a person who has had a defining moment in his/her life, a milestone moment which led to change in his/her perspective/lifestyle/goals. I described the moment when I went on my first mountain climb in 2012 as part of a spiritual climb that changed my life and started my love for the outdoors. I did it with my son in darkness, nothing distracting me except for the stars above. Every step was a prayer, every breath a worship.
2015 did not exactly get off to a good start as I had faced the first few days of the new year mourning the loss of a family member. I thought that it was a good opportunity for me to spend some time back into the arms of nature, contemplating life and some reflections to set the year ahead straight – just like my very first climb.

Explanation:
My assumption is that the first element of the question is itself the Haiku of interest but this is not really clear if I am honest. For myself I find that the approach creates a somewhat monotonous tone.
