Question

shall i compare thee to a summer’s day?
thou art more lovely and more temperate:
rough winds do shake the darling buds of may,
and summer’s lease hath all too short a date
–“sonnet 18,”
william shakespeare

silly and humorous
confused and unsure
angry and hurt
sincere and romantic

The speaker's tone should reflect the sincere and romantic nature of the poem, as it is a love poem. The other options (silly and humorous, confused and unsure, angry and hurt) do not match the affectionate and admiring tone of the sonnet.
