Hich of the following sentences takes a problematic tone? Select one: a. Please allow me the opportunity to argue for a better grade. b. You misread the entire paper! c. I have always received good grades in my writing class. d. When I was typing, the words flowed onto the paper, and I rarely even had to think about them.

A) Please allow me the opportunity to argue for a better grade

Explanation:

Problematic means being doubtful, full of problems, uncertain and being questionable while tone means a vocal sound that expresses or shows one feelings or thoughts.

From the above definitions, we can now say that a problematic tone entails when a speaker expresses his feelings in a doubtful or questionable manner.

So, from the question, the statement where the speaker expresses his feelings in a doubtful manner is the statement

"Please allow me the opportunity to argue for a better grade".

In the statement the speaker is doubtful of the grade he/she was given, and it seems the speaker is contesting the decision. The speaker feels he deserves a better grade.
