Read this excerpt from the article "nixon resigns" by carroll kilpatrick. one official, who has known mr. nixon well for many years and remains a white house aide, commented: "he is obviously a bad judge of character. but a lot was accomplished. so much more could have been accomplished but for these fun and games. it was such a stupid thing to happen." which statement best explains how the speaker's use of language affects the tone of this excerpt? it creates a formal and proud tone. it creates an informal and sentimental tone. it creates a formal and earnest tone. it creates an informal and frustrated tone.

"It creates an informal and frustrated tone."

Hope this helped you ! :)

It creates an informal and frustrated tone.

Explanation:

The tone is the way the author approaches the subject or idea in a piece of writing. It is created through the choice of words and phrases, the way they are organized and the level of formality, and it may indicate a feeling or several.

Now, in the excerpt, the speaker creates an informal and frustrated tone because of his choices of informal words such as "obviously", "It was such a stupid thing to happen", "a lot" instead of its more formal version "many", etc., and it also has a frustrated tone because the speaker approaches the resignation of Nixon as something unfair, they are dissatisfied and discontent because the events did not occur as they wanted to.
