The source is dated but still useful, B
Answer:
A). The narrator is frightened because she is Muslim making a Catholic confession.
Explanation:
The tone is described as the approach or attitude of the author towards a particular subject matter reflected through the choice of words or language employed. It serves to provide the audience with a perspective or viewpoint to consider or look at a particular text and enhances their curiosity to read and evoke the desired feeling or response that the author intends to invoke.
As per the question, the sentence that best reveals how the tone discloses the author's attitude/perspective is displayed through option A as the description 'frightened...Muslim making a Catholic confession' reflects the author's perspective towards portraying the strict religious beliefs and terror associated with it(being declared as a heretic). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
It gives meaning and shows a greater emotion.
It conveys the subject of the paragraph.
That way, the subject can be further elaborated and backed up with supporting statements/evidence in the following sentences of the paragraph :)
The statement that best provides an inference about seismic activity along the San Andreas fault is D - <em>By studying "seismic gaps," scientists know that the next earthquake to occur along the san Andreas fault will happen in the San Francisco Bay area with the next decade.</em>
A Seismic Gap, is a segment of the fault where no earthquakes have taken place for a very long time. Due to the build up of stresses in the San Francisco Bay area, scientists have deduced that one is overdue, the last one being in 1906. Scientists have been successful in forecasting earthquakes by studying these gaps, deducing that there is a 100-150 year interval between large ones.
