In a passage describing a storm with calm language, what is the likely tone?
Correct Answer:
Objective or somber
Explanation:
Tone reflects the narrator’s attitude toward the subject as shown by word choice and style. Describing a storm with calm language signals a restrained, factual approach, which points to an objective or somber tone. If the language were excited, humorous, or jubilant, the wording would be lively, witty, or exuberant, which isn’t the case here. So the calm description best fits an objective or somber tone.
