My annoying brother likes to drive me crazy. There is no other who is that lazy. He whines to Mom and Dad night and day, until he eventually gets his way. What is a sister to do, when he screams 'til he's blue? There is no way to win, for he gets under your skin. He does his best to kill all joy. Oh, how my brother does annoy! What is the TONE of the poem?

• Frustrated
• Humorous
• Depressed
• Happy

Goldie, her mother’s dog, seemed to stare sympathetically at Lola. The smell of her mother’s vanilla candles comforted her aching heart. What is the TONE of the passage? 

• Angry

• Sad

The night it happened was one we will never forget. The wind was screeching outside as rain pounded against the window.

The battery powered radio we had was broadcasting a warning to lock your doors and stay inside; there was a killer on the loose. What is the MOOD of the passage?

• Joyful
• Sad
• Scary
• Lonely
