read the following passage from muir's "calypso borealis" and answer the question
but when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, i found beautiful calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the
ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung.
identify and explain the tone of this passage. what specific words contribute to the tone? then, explain how the tone of the passage would change if the words "puddle of gray
algae in which its insignificant bleached bulb had fallen into a tangle of twigs" replaced the words in bold. be sure to identify the new tone and explain how the changed words
create that tone your response should be a paragraph of 3-5 sentences.

Well the tone is admirable. If i am correct this is from the Oddessey, meaning that oddysues is admiring calypso. He complimented her numerous ways stating that "I found beautiful Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream" calling her beautiful.

explanation:

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
