Sam tumbled up accordingly, dexterously contriving to tickle andy as he did so, which occasioned andy to split out into a laugh, greatly to haley's indignation, who made a cut at him with his riding-whip.
"i's 'stonished at yer, andy," said sam, with awful gravity. "this yer's a seris bisness, andy. yer mustn't be makin' game. this yer an't no way to mas'r." (p.49)

the excerpt above is an example of

a sentimental tone
dramatic irony
a comedic tone
a symbolic moment

The correct answer is “comedic tone”. In literature, tone is the attitude of the speaker toward his subject, basically it describes an attitude. Its main objective is communicating his argument and it is described with adjectives. Comedic is something funny. Linking these two definitions, we can notice how it is used in the excerpt by making the character laugh despite Haley’s indignation.
