The detail from the excerpt that best helps the reader determine a tone of alarm is "Mr. Morrison never made sounds like that."

Explanation:

The speaker was in silent recitation when she was interrupted by a tapping on the porch. So far, there is nothing that conveys a sense of alarm. A tapping on the porch could be a normal, expected occurrence, especially if it is a sound the speaker can recognize. What really determines a tone of alarm is the fact that the speaker lays very still because she does not recognize the sound. It is a sound Mr. Morrison never made. It is with this information that we get to know there is something strange, suspicious, and alarming about the tapping on the porch.

"Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" is a novel by author Mildred D. Taylor. It discusses racial issues during the Great Depression through the eyes of the narrator and main character, Cassie Logan.

Read the excerpt from dominique’s personal narrative. tired of waiting for the bus, which was late for the fifth day in a row, i sat leafing through an old magazine i had stuffed in my purse the previous night. it was terribly warm for a september afternoon, and the sun cast fleeting shadows on the bus stop sign with each car that passed. i wondered when the weather would get cooler and when the new bus driver would start arriving on time. it was about then that i first noticed the apparent agitation of the man sitting next to me. finally, the bus arrived and ambled to a gradual stop directly in front of the restless man. the doors widened, and the bus driver greeted the man with his usual banter in his usual monotone. "good afternoon. how are you today? ” when writing the next few lines of dialogue, dominique should be certain that the lines provide clues about what will happen later on in the narrative. contain made-up details that make the story more exciting. include everyday language that seems real and natural. use precise words that make both men sound educated.
