The correct answer is B. Placing "state leaders" in quotation marks indicates that the writer is mocking the lawmakers.

Explanation

Quotation marks (") are a punctuation mark that has different purposes, among which are to quote verbatim what someone says; to highlight a word written in a language other than the main one of a document; to use irony, among others. In this case, the quotation marks are being used in the phrase "state leaders" for irony because you want to use a distinctive tone in this part of the text, to change the reader's interpretation and to make fun of the lawmakers. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Placing "state leaders" in quotation marks indicates that the writer is mocking the lawmakers.

Which word from the sentence gives it an informal tone? Let’s all jump into this mess together and see if we can shovel our way
taurus [48]
Informal words are words that are used commonly, like the words you use when you talk to your best friends.  The words JUMP, MESS, and SHOVEL are all give an informal tone. Keep in mind that tone is the way the author expresses his or her feelings within the text. Remember that formal words are the words that are used to say a word more formal than the word used presently. Example: ERUDITE is a formal word for wise, CONCUR is the formal word for agree, ESOTERIC for secret and the last that I can give is FRIEND for chum<span>.</span>

Read the excerpt from Night below and answer the question.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from Night below and answer the question.

“Hey, kid, how old are you?”

The man interrogating me was an inmate. I could not see his face, but his voice was weary and warm.

“Fifteen.”

“No. You’re eighteen.”

“But I’m not,” I said. “I’m fifteen.”

“Fool. Listen to what I say.”

Then he asked my father, who answered:

“I’m fifty.”

“No.” The man now sounded angry. “Not fifty. You’re forty. Do you hear? Eighteen and forty.”

Why does the prisoner insist that Wiesel and his father lie about their ages?

He wants to win the favor of the Nazi guards.

He is probably deranged because of the conditions in the concentration camp.

He is trying to save their lives.

He considers them a threat and is trying to get rid of them.
