Answer:
1. The tone being conveyed is a laudatory tone.
2. The poet achieved it by asking a rhetorical question and providing the answer.
Explanation:
1. The tone being conveyed in the last stanza of the poem was a laudatory one. This means that the poet was praising the boy Icarus for trying the boundaries of his intellect.
2. To achieve this, the poet asked a rhetorical question;
<em>Should it matter
</em>
<em>that neither shepherd nor farmer with his plow
</em>
<em>watched him fall?
</em>
He answered the question by saying that 'he now had the answer'. So, even though the boy eventually fell, he had explored the heights of his freedom and had satisfied his curiosity.
I would say that student activism received so much media attention because all of the above - because they were vocal, because they challenged the silent majority, because they were willing to question authority in an attention-getting manner, because their protests often ended in violence and disorder.
