How does the author introduce the beginning of

the modern Civil Rights Movement?

with an anecdote about Rosa Parks refusing to

give up her seat on a bus

with a fact stating the number of people who

participated in the bus boycott

with several examples of unjust treatment

against African Americans in Montgomery

with a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr., about

the bus boycott

the answer is somber

the time most likely will repeat, in the story.

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.)
