Read the excerpt below from chapter 7 and answer the question. and then quite suddenly a shadow fell on the world, and the sun seemed hidden behind a thick cloud. but almost immediately a shout of joy broke out in all directions, and umuofia… broke into life and activity. what contrasting tones is the author conveying? tragic and humorous sad and happy bitter and compassionate somber and joyous

somber and joyous

Explanation:

At the beginning of the excerpt, the setting is described as somber with the shadow falling on the world and the sun hiding behind a thick cloud. However, this changes when there is a "shout of joy". It says that Umuofla "broke into life and activity." The setting is not necessarily being described as sad, tragic or bitter. These emotions are too strong for the image of the clouds rolling in. Also, the contrasting image of the people shouting for joy does not exude humor or compassion necessarily. Happy isn't enough since they are shouting. Therefore the best choice is "somber and joyous".
