This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, 1848.

Which of the following best describes the  author's tone in the text?

O A Desperate and pleading

OB Formal and firm

O C Angry and defensive

OD Bitter and mocking

Answer: B Formal and firm

Explanation:

Stanton (1815-1902) uses a formal yet firm tone in the Declaration, referencing the fight for women’s rights in the idea that an unjust and despotic Government must be replaced by rebellion if needed. She calls for prudence but provides facts about the mistreatment women have suffered and calls for the "immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of these United States," stating that, no matter the forces against them, they will keep fighting.

The answer choice the best describes the author's tone in the text is the following:

B. Formal and firm

  • The "Declaration of Sentiments" by Elizabeth Cady Stanton is a document in which the rights of women as citizens are discussed.
  • The document was based on the American Declaration of Independence and, like its predecessor, is written in a very formal and firm style.
  • Take a look at these lines taken from the first paragraph:

"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume among the people of the earth a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied. . ."

  • Notice how Stanton uses formal words and an indirect style - inverting sentence structure, which takes longer to say what we mean to say.
  • Therefore, we can choose letter B as the best option.
