In Reading Comprehension, identifying the author's tone requires looking for evaluative language, such as adjectives like 'flawed' or 'remarkable.' If the author avoids such judgmental words and sticks to facts, the tone is likely neutral or objective. Recognizing tone is essential because it reveals the author's evaluative stance toward the subject matter.
Which of the following would indicate a neutral tone?
- The author expresses extreme outrage about a scientific finding.
- The author relies heavily on adjectives like 'remarkable.'
- The author poses several rhetorical questions to the reader.
- The author avoids judgmental words and reports the facts.
- The author uses words like 'unfortunate' and 'misguided.'
