How would we know we haven't read the story
To determine the tone of the last section of the article, you would need to read and analyze the text. Look for keywords, phrases, or other indications that suggest a particular emotion or attitude. Consider the author's choice of language, the overall mood, and the perspective presented in the section. Based on your interpretation, you can select the most appropriate tone from the given options.
To identify a hyperbole, you should look for an exaggerated statement or representation that is not meant to be taken literally. It is often used for emphasis or to make a point. Read each sentence carefully and determine if any statements stand out as exaggerated or unrealistic. The correct answer is the sentence that fits this description.
It is important to note that without the full context of the article, the accuracy of these answers may vary.
