Which example of figurative language best states what the author hopes will happen when he returns to the South after his speech?

answer: the sentence in the text that contains both the topic and the author's single most important idea about the topic

explanation: aww pineapple so adorable

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
