“One day, as I scanned the sandy expanse of Northern Africa, I couldn’t find any of the familiar landmarks—colorful outcroppings of rocks in Chad, irrigated patches of the Sahara. Then I realized they were obscured by a huge dust storm, a cloud of sand that enveloped the continent from Morocco to the Sudan.”

To determine the tone of a text, it is important to look at the language, imagery, and context of the quote. In this case, the quote suggests a sense of awe. The author uses vivid imagery, such as "sandy expanse," "colorful outcroppings of rocks," and "enveloped the continent," to describe the scene of a huge dust storm obscuring the familiar landmarks. The use of words like "huge" and "enveloped" conveys a sense of grandness and astonishment. Therefore, the correct answer is A. awe.
