Question 94174 • EA Language Arts 9 -Credit Recovery
Which line of dialogue requires a reader to use a desperate, emphatic tone when reading aloud?“But why not?”“It’s just too dangerous for you to go there amongst all those white people.”“They’ll never recognize me—see, see!”“You’re staying home, baby. It’s for your own good.”
Answer
A
“But why not?”
B
“It’s just too dangerous for you to go there amongst all those white people.”
C
“They’ll never recognize me—see, see!”
D
“You’re staying home, baby. It’s for your own good.”
Explanation
“They’ll never recognize me—see, see!” sounds desperate and emphatic because the speaker insists that they will not be recognized and repeats “see” to press the point. The other lines sound more like a question, an explanation of danger, or a firm decision.
