Question

Read the excerpt from Silent Spring. On the farms the hens brooded, but no chicks hatched. The farmers complained that they were unable to raise any pigs—the litters were small and the young survived only a few days. The apple trees were coming into bloom but no bees droned among the blossoms, so there was no pollination and there would be no fruit. What kind of tone do the underlined words create?

Answer 1

Answer:

Threatening

Explanation:

there is nothing

Answer 2

The tone is the effect created through the author's choice of words. The underlined words are not indicated here. But generally, the kind of tone that is conveyed in this text is;

• Foreboding and threatening

In the text, we have the feeling that something is about to go wrong through the description of events.

The fact that there was no pollination because of the lack of bees and the chicks were not hatching showed that things were no longer as they were meant to be.

Therefore, there is a foreboding or threatening tone of impending danger.
