Struggling to depict the facial features, Liza threw down her paintbrush. She sighed in frustration. She was a landscape painter and not a portrait artist. Liza preferred to paint broad strokes of lakeside scenes and blue skies. Reproducing every aspect of a person’s face was a painful exercise class with a boot camp instructor. She needed to express her art without worrying about tiny details, like the cleft in someone’s chin. What does the word “sighed” contribute to the tone of the text?

It makes Liza seem enthusiastic.

It makes Liza seem incompetent.

Most people probably think that acting school is nonstop fun, but I can tell you that it’s a challenge. Memorizing lines of dialogue is not too bad because you’re engaging with another actor. But presenting a monologue leaves you out to sea in a rowboat. You never know what the outcome will be and if the audience will be thrilled or bored with your solitary performance. If you’ve ever stood up in front of a group to give a speech, then you’ll know exactly what I mean. What meaning is added to the text by the connotation of the word “solitary”?

The author finds monologues to be lonely.

The author is performing a monologue in prison.

The author enjoys monologues more than dialogues.

The author has never performed a monologue.

What is the "tone" of a story?

The author, narrator, or speaker's attitude toward a subject.

The feeling the passage evokes from the reader.

The time and place of the story.

The summary of events in the story.

By seven o’clock the orchestra has arrived, no thin five-piece affair, but a whole pitfull of oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and cornets and piccolos, and low and high drums. The last swimmers have come in from the beach now and are dressing up-stairs; the cars from New York are parked five deep in the drive, and already the halls and salons and verandas are gaudy with primary colors, and hair shorn in strange new ways, and shawls beyond the dreams of Castile. The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alive with chatter and laughter, and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other’s names. How does Fitzgerald’s use of personification impact the meaning of the text?

Fitzgerald’s description of “enthusiastic meetings between women” meeting for the first time emphasizes the superficiality of the party.

Fitzgerald’s description of the air as “alive with chatter” reveals the narrator’s irritability at the conversation.

Fitzgerald’s comparison of the party to a “circus” illustrates the narrator’s distaste for chaotic settings.

Fitzgerald’s description of the air as “alive with chatter” emphasizes the excitement and energy in the atmosphere.
