In the late 1800s, long-distance communication was
difficult. Though there was a postal service, it was slow and
unreliable Letters could take many weeks or even months
to travel cross country. Quickly reaching a faraway loved
one in an emergency was only possible via the electric
telegraph, which was not available to everyone. In contrast
today Americans communicate freely inexpensively, and
frequently over all distances with cell phones and
computers, Friends and family, no matter how distant, are
only a push of a button away

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "that spot" by jack london? i don’t think much of stephen mackaye any more, though i used to swear by him. i know that in those days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me that a man with whom i shared food and blanket, and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail, should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the stewart; and he saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after the years we were together, all i can say of stephen mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew. a. excited b. ironic c. indignant d. playful
