Answer:
He uses a serious but friendly tone.
Explanation:
In the essay "The Reader as Artist" Toni Morrison reveals how delightful it is to have reading as a way of practicing art. In this essay he shows how reading as a skill is different from reading as an art.
In reading as a skill we can read the words of a text with mastery, but in reading as art we savor every detail of the text's construction, we reflect on the author's choices and we are able to visualize the characters, smells, flavors and the written environment in detail . In other words, we can affirm that reading as art is a form of immersion in the text, where we are taken completely to the right of the presented story and perceiving its smallest details.
In this essay Morrison uses a serious but friendly and sympathetic tone.
The summary of this passage would be more clear if it included the detail that there was a dead virus living inside the monkey. This would make it seem far less random that there is a sudden mention of a monkey without context.
The central idea should also include the phrase "and spread throughout the human species" so that the idea of <em>why</em> a virus coming alive would be scary.
As a writer and reader I disagree with this. Perhaps if you are writing for a scientific journal or business report, long blocks of text can seem like you have a lot of info. Generally speaking, especially in fiction and non fiction i think unbroken pages of text will best case scenario bore a reader, worst case scenraio burden and overwhelm them with a lot of info so the feel daunted about continuing.
