Which sentence best explains how the tone reveals the narrator’s perspective?
katen-ka-za [31]

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.
