8. which of the author's specific word choices in the following passage from "the morning of
june 28, 1948, and the lottery" best impacts the article's tone?

on the morning of june 28, 1948, i walked down to the post office in our little vermont town
to pick up the mail. i was quite casual about it, as i recall - i opened the box, took out a couple
of bills and a letter or two, talked to the postmaster for a few minutes, and left, never
supposing that is was the last time for months that i would pick up the mail without an active
feeling of panic.

1. in our little vermont town
2. active feeling of panic
3. talked to the postmaster for a few minutes
4.i opened the box

The correct answer is 2. Active feeling of panic

Explanation:

In texts, the tone is mainly the attitude of the author towards the events, situation or subject that is describing through writing, which can be identified by the use of words such as adjectives or similar that show in an explicit or in an implicit way the feelings and position of the author in the text. In the case presented the author mainly uses this text to explain the way, in which June 28, 1948, was a different date and changed the life of the narrator. This can be seen in the last section of this paragraph as the author states "never supposing that is was the last time for months that I would pick up the mail without an active feeling of panic" that shows the main attitude or feelings of the author toward this situation is the panic and fear. Therefore, the words that best impact the article's tone is "active feeling of panic".
