Answer:
D) That test results from a recent exam indicate that something is wrong, and she should see the doctor again.
Explanation:
The tone is generally described as an author's attitude towards a particular subject matter that is reflected through the writing style and choice of words by the author. It mirrors the author's approach to display the central theme or idea. The tone of the statement taken from passage implies that Julianne's recent test reports are indicating an unnerving sign as it suggests 'abnormality' and she needs to 'follow-up' an appointment as soon as possible. The tone is alarming and displays an indication of a serious problem. Thus, option D appropriately exemplifies the tone of the passage.
The answer is A) gradualism.
