Question

question 9 of 10
read this passage:

to me being fifteen meant that i should be allowed at least
to choose my own clothes, my own friends, and to say
whatever i wanted to say when i wanted to say it—free
country, right?

which word best describes the narrator’s tone in the passage?

a. sarcastic

b. sincere

c. anxious

d. amused

Explanation:

The narrator questions if being fifteen means having certain freedoms (choosing clothes, friends, speaking freely) in a "free country," implying a mocking or ironic tone about the supposed freedom. "Sincere" is too genuine, "anxious" is about worry, and "amused" is about being entertained—none fit as well as "sarcastic" here.

Answer:

A. Sarcastic
