Speaking and Listening: Evaluating a Speaker

Question 11 • [ELA11] ELA 11, Sem 1 (26-27)

How would the meaning of "An Indian's View of Indian Affairs" most likely have been affected had Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt (Chief Joseph) adopted a tone of resentment instead?

Answer
A
It would appear as an accusation rather than a plea.
B
It would appear as a request rather than an accusation.
C
It would appear as a threat rather than a narrative.
D
It would appear as a narrative rather than a demand.

Explanation

Chief Joseph’s address presents the Nez Perce people’s suffering while appealing for fair treatment, giving it the quality of a plea. A resentful tone would emphasize blame and grievance, making the speech seem more like an accusation than an appeal.
