Which of the following best describes the tone Roosevelt uses in the excerpt?

Answer
A
subjective
B
condescending
C
hopeful
D
commanding

Explanation

Roosevelt uses directive language, such as “authorize and direct” and “in carrying out this Executive Order.” He is instructing federal agencies to provide support, which makes the tone commanding. The excerpt is not mainly expressing hope, personal opinion, or condescension.
