This question is missing the sentences, being incomplete for that reason. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read this sentence from Silent Spring.

Along the roads, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wildflowers delighted the traveler's eye through much of the year.

Read this sentence from "Save the Redwoods".

The wrongs done to trees, wrongs of every sort, are done in the darkness of ignorance and unbelief, for when light comes the heart of the people is always right.

Which best states a comparison of the tones used in these sentences?

A. Both sentences are negative, but the second sentence has a more negative tone.

B. Both sentences are positive, but the first sentence has a more serious tone.

C. Both sentences are despairing, but the first sentence has a gloomier tone.

D. Both sentences are uplifting, but the second sentence has a more moral tone.

The option that best states a comparison of the tones is:

D. Both sentences are uplifting, but the second sentence has a more moral tone.

Explanation:

Both the sentences from "Silent Spring" and "Save the Redwoods" have an uplifting tone. However, the second sentence talks of right and wrong, which is a moral matter. The first sentence does not bring any type of judgement, only a sense of inspiration and delight. The second sentence speaks of light coming to the heart of people, which does inspire some cheerfulness. But it still talks of darkness, ignorance, and wrongful doing. Therefore, we can say both sentences are uplifting, but the second one has a more moral tone.

the other options are not correct because we can not assure that roberto clemente was the best since we don't know the information about the other players, there are no mentions about any specific fan either and it is clear that not many batters can make it to 3000 hits because it is mention as a high number.

Answer from: Quest
