Answer:

D. Suspenseful.

Explanation:

Suspense is the feeling of uncertainty, unknown of what is to happen in the coming scenes. This narrative tone is used by writers to present their readers with an uncertain future, captivating their attention so that they are compelled to stay on course and keep on reading.

In the given excerpt from Piri Thomas's "Amigo Brothers," the tone used is that of suspense. The two boxers were competing to win against the other, so much that they <em>"were past hearing" </em>even after the <em>"bell sounded over and over again." </em>They had to be separated by<em> "the referee and two trainers"</em>, and <em>"cold water [...] poured over them to bring them back to their senses."</em> And once that happened, the two <em>"looked around and rushed toward each other",</em> not certain of what is to happen. The narrator's question <em>"Was this a fight to the death instead of a boxing match?"</em> leaves the narration mid-way, leaving us blind about what happened after that.

Thus, the correct answer is suspenseful tone.

How did desdemona and othello meet
Doss [256]

Answer: Brabantio often invited Othello to his house, where he met Desdemona, and they fell in love.

Explanation:

Othello is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is a story about a powerful general of the Venetian army who is utterly betrayed by his deceitful friend, Iago.

In Act I, Scene III, Desdemona's father, Brabantio, argues she has been stolen from him by spells. The duke thus demands that Othello tells the whole story about his marriage to Desdemona. Othello admits that they got married, but insists that he did not use magic to persuade her to be with him. On this occasion, Othello explains that Brabantio invited him to his house, where they discussed his battle stories and journeys outside the civilized world. Desdemona overheard those stories, and wanted Othello to retell them to her. Impressed by what he had to say, Desdemona fell in love with Othello.
