Question 5 • English Language Arts 11

Read the excerpt from Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique . Sometimes a woman would tell me that the feeling gets so strong she runs out of the house and walks through the streets. Or she stays inside her house and cries. Or her children tell her a joke, and she doesn’t laugh because she doesn’t hear it. Which best describes the tone of the excerpt?

Answer
A
indifferent
B
confused
C
lighthearted
D
concerned

Explanation

The excerpt describes women feeling overwhelmed and distressed: one runs out of the house, another cries, and another is so distracted she cannot respond to her children. These details show concern about their emotional struggles. The tone is therefore concerned, not indifferent or lighthearted.
