Ead this excerpt from the grapes of wrath: no man had touched the seed, or lusted for the growth. men ate what they had not raised, had no connection with the bread. the land bore under iron, and under iron gradually died; for it was not loved or hated, it had no prayers or curses. which word best describes the tone of this excerpt? a. curious b. sympathetic c. frustrated d. detached

The answer is: Detached

Explanation:

A detached kind of tone tells the whole truth of a story or passage. It is not meant to entertain. The excerpt above from "The Grapes of Wrath" shows that even if man didn't take part in the hard work of planting the fruit, he eats the fruit without wondering how it came about. So, there is a feeling of isolation between the man who planted the seed and the man who ate it. It shows a segregation between the two characters.

The novel was written by John Steinback and it was meant to show the conditions of the tenant farmers in Oklahoma during the Great Depression. Since it was written in a serious tone and told the truth, it uses the tone detached.

The Answer would Be C) Frustrated

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
