Consider these versions of The War of the Worlds. Excerpt 1, from H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds: Then came the night

of the first falling star. It was seen early in the morning, rushing over Winchester eastward, a line of flame high in the atmosphere. Hundreds must have seen it, and taken it for an ordinary falling star. Albin described it as leaving a greenish streak behind it that glowed for some seconds. Denning, our greatest authority on meteorites, stated that the height of its first appearance was about ninety or one hundred miles. It seemed to him that it fell to earth about one hundred miles east of him.
Excerpt 2, from Howard E. Koch's script for Orson Welles's radio adaptation: ANNOUNCER TWO: Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News. At twenty minutes before eight, central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, reports observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars. The spectroscope indicates the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with enormous velocity.
Which statement best describes the difference between these versions?
The radio adaptation's tone is more urgent than the novel's tone.
The radio adaptation's tone is more academic than the novel's tone.
The radio adaptation's tone is more peaceful than the novel's tone.
The radio adaptation's tone is more friendly than the novel's tone.

The correct answer is A. The radio adaptation's tone is more urgent than the novel's tone.

Explanation:

The tone of a text refers to the attitude of the speaker, narrator or author while describing situations, events, subjects, etc. which can be identified based on the selection of words, phrases or language that reveal the feelings, thoughts, and ideas of the speaker while describing something.

In the case of the two versions of The War of the Worlds, the radio adaptation has a more urgent tone this can be seen in the use of language for example in "several explosions of incandescent gas" or "moving towards the earth with enormous velocity" that show the situation is urgent and an emergency in comparison to the language used in the original text "a line of flame high in the atmosphere" or "It seemed to him that it fell to earth" that just describes the way the object is falling to the Earth but without any urgency or feeling.

Thus, the statement that describes the difference between the two versions is "the radio adaptation's tone is more urgent than the novel's tone".

leonid [27]

Your answer should include some of these points:

The scope of the chapter is completely different from that of the video. The video is of a small segment of the expedition.

The video’s mood is gloomy because it shows the destruction of the ship Endurance. Although the memoir describes the three men facing extreme hardship, the mood is less dismal because the men follow their plan with determination.

The video is shot by crew member Frank Hurley, and the memoir is written by Shackleton. As the expedition’s leader, Shackleton’s level of involvement is much deeper than Hurley's.

The tone of the memoir is personal and the point of view is first person. The video is dramatic and evokes shock in the audience.

The memoir is a realistic but emotional description of the trek and evokes both sympathy and hope in readers. The video is realistic and documentary in style.

sergey [27]

Answer:

relevance

Explanation:

Mr Young argument that he studied his notes and chapters for 18 hours before taking the exam and yet did not get good grade and thought he deserved a higher grade fails the standard of relevance. His argument is not important to the subject matter and lacks the existence to make the subject matter a fact. You can study for as long as you want, but there are other factors that determines good grades that Mr. Young did not consider, such as ability to retain information, intelligence level, and others.
