Read this paragraph from "Caring for Vets Should Be National Duty."

Of course, nonprofit organizations like the Wounded Warrior Project have been offering these life-affirming tools for well over a decade. But why should it be up to private charities to take care of those who battled and bled for their country?

Which word best describes the tone of the paragraph?


irate

frustrated

anxious

condescending

This comes off mostly as condescending to me.

The use of a rhetorical question at the end of the paragraph, "Why should it be up to private charities to take care of those who battled and bled for their country?" is almost like a challenge. Why isn't the government responsible? Like that.

The definition of condescending is having or showing a feeling of patronizing superiority. The author's tone, at least to me, sounds like they feel they are in a position to talk out about this. And towards the government, at least, the tone would be condescending.

The author isn't hand-wringing anxious, or extremely frustrated, either. That would leave the last option, condescending.

Answer:

condescending

How do the townspeople view the lottery box? Please refer to the paragraph below.
The lottery was conducted as were the square dances, the teen club, the Halloween program - by Mr. Summers
who had time and energy to devote to civic activities. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal
business, and people were sorry for him because he had no children and his wife was a scold. When he arrived in
the square, carrying the black wooden box, there was a murmur of conversation among the villagers, and he
waved and called, "Little late today, folks." The postmaster, Mr. Graves, followed him, carrying a three legged
stool, and the stool was put in the center of the square and Mr. Summers set the black box down on it. The
villagers kept their distance, leaving a space between themselves and the stool, and when Mr. Summers said,
"Some of you fellows want to give me a hand?" there was a hesitation before two men, Mr. Martin and his
oldest son, Baxter, came forward to hold the box steady on the stool while Mr. Summers stirred up the papers
inside it.
O They are disinterested in the box.
O They all want to get rid of the box.
O They see it as part of a tradition.
O They are afraid of the box.
