Answer:

The tone of the poem is stern and instructive. The speaker gives advice to children about good and bad habits. He encourages them to pick up good habits by saying that they are characteristic of great people. He also warns them that if they pick up bad habits, they will be disliked as adults. He uses words such as "Cruel children," "crying babies," and “geese and gabies” to create a negative image of bad children. Through these negative images he encourages children to avoid bad habits.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

C). Work together to fight against social injustices.

Explanation:

Language always play a vital role in creating the desired tone or mood in a writing that assists in conveying the message more effectively and eliciting the intended feelings or response from the audience.

In the given excerpt, the strong language implies that Chavez firmly wished that 'people must come together irrespective of the background or race they belong to as a force to battle against the social evils or injustices' and 'sound the trumpets of change.' <u>The use of sturdy and impressive phrases like 'be trampled over by the iron feet of oppression' reveal his disagreement towards these injustices strongly</u>. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
