Question on Author’s Tone

As an ASVAB tutor, I focus on the different types of questions that can appear on the Paragraph Comprehension section of the ASVAB.  Some of the different types of questions include: main idea, detail, vocabulary, inference, cause and effect, author’s tone and author’s purpose.

Today I presented a question on author’s tone.

The author’s tone is the author’s attitude in a piece he or she has written.

An author writes a scientific piece about the life of a lion.  What would the author’s tone most likely be?

  1. Funny
  2. Sarcastic
  3. Factual
  4. Angry

Do you know the answer to this question?  I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
