Which of the following words best describes eudora welty’s tone in "eavesdropping"? insightful opinionated excited whimsical humorous

The correct answer is insightful.

The author describes her early life in an enclosed space, away from outer interactions, but within reach of the conversations between her parents.

As the story develops, the author describes her feelings as she grows up in a deep, meaningful manner - as if she understood human behaviour at a slow pace -. This description mostly resembles the definition of the word "insightful": Having or showing an accurate and deep understanding.

The rest of the options cannot be considered correct since:

Opinionated: The author considers only her own opinions, but not because she chose to, but rather due to the lack of other actors to address directly in the story.

Excited: The fact that the author describes the development of her feelings alone as the sight of her classmates layed right before her evidences the lack of joy in this story.

Whimsical: The author accepts the nature of her development, rather than arguing about a better life.

Humorous: The author's story theme and choice of words are too serious to be considered joke-like.
