Author’s Tone Answer
In my ASVAB prep course, I review the types of questions that can be found on the Paragraph Comprehension section of the ASVAB. Examples of the different types of questions are: main idea, detail, sequence, vocabulary, cause and effect, inference, author’s purpose and author’s tone.
Yesterday I presented a question for Paragraph Comprehension.
The question asks about the author’s tone. Author’s tone is one of the various types of questions that can appear on the Paragraph Comprehension section of the ASVAB. It refers to the author’s attitude or viewpoint or feeling in the piece he is writing.
The question is:
An author wrote a horror story. What would the tone be?
- Factual
- Funny
- Sarcastic
- Scary
In writing a horror story, an author has the plan to scare the reader. The tone of a horror story would be scary. The correct answer is choice C. scary.
