Question 94178 • EA Language Arts 9 -Credit Recovery

Which line of dialogue requires a reader to use a desperate, emphatic tone when reading aloud?

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!” calls for a desperate, emphatic tone because the repeated “see” sounds urgent, as if the speaker is trying hard to convince someone. The dash also creates a forceful pause before the insistence. The other lines sound more like a question, a warning, or a firm explanation.
