Question 1/1 Each year in the middle of February, when slush is underfoot and the sky is a depressing gray, I begin dreaming of warm beaches, tropical fruits and sunsets. If only I could save enough for a winter vacation Maybe next year I'll win the
lottery. Meanwhile, I'll read travel brochures and sigh. What word describes the tone?
A. unsure
B. joyous
C. longing

C

Explanation:

The tone of the text is negative. Therefore, you can eliminate answer choice b because it is positive. Yet it is in a friendly manner, they are still talking down on you, so d is wrong. A is also wrong although she words like "maybe" and "if," that is not the overall tone of the text. The best answer is c because it states, "Meanwhile, I'll read travel brochures and sigh," it tells us that she's going to wait until the actual time comes.

i would say that these are the two thesis statements best for a literary analysis essay on recurring themes in shakespeare's romeo and juliet:

1.  in romeo and juliet, shakespeare demonstrates that love comes in a variety of forms, be it romantic, familial, or between friends.

2.  shakespeare explores the struggle for identity through the character of juliet in his play romeo and juliet.

the other theses aren't reoccurring in this play.
