Read the excerpt from Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique. Sometimes a woman would tell me that the feeling gets so strong she runs out of the house and walks through the streets. Or she stays inside her house and cries. Or her children tell her a joke, and she doesn’t laugh because she doesn’t hear it.Which best describes the tone of the excerpt?

Answer
A
lighthearted
B
confused
C
indifferent
D
concerned

Explanation

The excerpt describes women feeling so overwhelmed that they flee their homes, cry, or cannot respond to their children. These serious examples convey concern about their emotional distress. The tone is therefore concerned, not lighthearted or indifferent.
