Praxis Exam 5001 Practice Question
The following passage is from A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle. IT was a brain... Which THREE of the following words from the passage best create the overall tone?
Correct Answer: C, D, E
Rationale: The words "seized," "horrible," and "nauseating" effectively convey a tone of urgency and discomfort, reflecting the intense emotions present in the passage. "Seized" suggests a forceful action, contributing to a sense of crisis. "Horrible" and "nauseating" evoke feelings of dread and revulsion, enhancing the overall unsettling atmosphere.
In contrast, "brain" is neutral and does not convey emotion, while "oversized" lacks the intensity needed to create a strong tone. Thus, options A and B do not contribute to the emotional impact of the passage.
