Underlined word: Splashed

The correct answer is D. Less dramatic

Explanation:

In the original text, the use of the word "splash" to refer to the action of publishing an important event in the newspaper, creates a highly emotional and dramatic tone (attitude of the writer) because the word splash suggests the news are highly important or will have a great effect. On the other hand, if the word is replaced by the word "typed", which is neutral and does not have an emotional charge, the tone or general attitude will be less dramatic and more neutral as this word shows the news were published but does not suggest the impact of these.
