Question: 256
2. The author's tone can best be described as
- A. emotional
- B. sentimental
- C. optimistic
- D. informative
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. The passage is intended to inform readers of developments in carrot breeding. The passage does not contain any emotionally charged language; thus choice A can be eliminated. Nothing about the passage could be termed sentimental; and, although the last sentence offers the opinion that colorful carrots will be a good addition to supermarket produce aisles, this is not enough to describe the entire passage as optimistic.
