Read this excerpt from the grapes of wrath:
sure, cried the tenant men, but it's our land. we measured it and broke it up. we were born on it, and we got killed on it, died on it. even if it's no good, it's still ours. that's what makes it ours—being born on it, working it, dying on it. that makes ownership, not a paper with numbers on it.
which best describes how the diction supports the tone of this passage?
a. by beginning the excerpt with the word "sure," the author articulates a fundamental truth that most reasonable people can agree with.
b. by beginning several sentences with "we," the author uses parallelism to express a formal and objective tone that avoids sentimentality.
c. by using a metaphor to compare ownership to a piece of paper, the author indicates that the land should really belong to the farmers.
d. by referring to how farmers "died on" and are "dying on" the land, the author conveys sympathy toward the tenant farmers for being displaced.

[music within.] i hear him near. nurse! wife! what, no! what, nurse, i say! 30 re-enter nurse. go waken juliet, go and trim her up; i’ll go and chat with paris. hie, make haste, make haste; the bridegroom he is come already: make haste, i say. [exeunt.] 35 this scene is an example of dramatic irony used to create suspense since the audience knows that the musicians will not arrive on time. capulet approves of the match to paris. romeo is already married to juliet. the nurse will be unable to rouse juliet.
