Answer 1

The answer is "day and time"

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is:  "...there will be time to murder and create, and time for all the works and days of hands that lift and drop a question on your plate..."

Explanation:

A leisurely tone is used when expressed ideas without haste in an unhurried way. There are different forms to identify how an author uses a leisurely tone in his or her speech. The easiest to do is to take a look at the grammatical structure in his or her statements. The most complex it is, the more requires thinking over that topic. That is usually carried out when the author is calm.

In that case:

"...there will be time to murder and create, and time for all the works and days of hands that lift and drop a question on your plate...";

rhymes create and plate which mostly shows the author is speaking in a leisurely tone.
