Read the excerpt from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.


In the darkness there was a low sob and T.J., hardly sounding like T.J., mumbled, "They the ones got me in it. Where's the bed? I gotta sit down."


In the darkness he groped for the bed, his feet dragging as if he could hardly lift them. "I ain't no bed!" I exclaimed as his hands fell on me.


Which words from the excerpt best help the reader determine a tone of distress?


"exclaimed," "hands," and "feet"

"sob," "groped," and "dragging"

"darkness," "bed," and "lift"

"sounding," "sit," and "ain’t"

Answers

Answer:

The words from the excerpt that best help the reader determine a tone of distress are:

B. "sob," "groped," and "dragging"

Explanation:

Tone is conveyed through word choice, in literature. It helps readers understand what the narrator and/or other characters are feeling, or what the situation is supposed to inspire in readers. The only way for the author to convey such sensations and emotions is by choosing words that are connected to them.

In the passage we are analyzing here, the words "sob," "groped," and "dragging" convey distress. Distress means extreme anxiety or extreme sorrow, suffering, affliction. A person who is not feeling anxious, sad, or suffering is not likely to sob, to grope, or to drag. Lighter words would be used to describe them. Now, if people drag their feet and grope around while sobbing, we can sense they are distressed.

Answer: "sob," "groped," and "dragging"

Explanation:

distress means: extreme anxiety, sorrow, or pain. You can tell by the words sob, groped and dragging that T.J. is upset which is another word for sorrow.

Editorial
Children need lengthier recess sessions in order to reap the full benefits from the play session. They need ample time to move their body, to explore, to tinker, to problem-solve, to work through their emotions, and to dive deep into their imaginations. Short fifteen- to twenty-minute recess sessions often interrupt the children just as they are about to figure out who and what they are going to play.

Newspaper Article
One result of allowing kids more time for recess, [Principal McLain] said, has been increased instructional time "because the kids come back in and settle down and get to work because they know they will receive another recess before long." He also said teachers referred kids to the office for disciplinary action less often as a result of the program and found that "kids are solving their own problems much more independently."
