2. Read this quotation from paragraph 3 of the passage. Perhaps a more tragic recognition of reality took place when it became clear to me
that the war was doing far more than devastating the hopes of the poor at home. It
was sending their sons and their brothers and their husbands to fight and to die in
extraordinarily high proportions relative to the rest of the population. We were
taking the black young men who had been crippled by our society and sending
them eight thousand miles away to guarantee liberties in Southeast Asia which they
had not found in southwest Georgia and East Harlem.
Select the phrase that best describe the tone of the above quotation.
