Question

which quote from my heart is bursting most contributes to the assertive tone of settainte (satanta)s speech?
the cheyennes are those who have been fighting with you. they did it in broad daylight so that all could see them.
all the chiefs of the kiowas, comanches, and arapahos are here to-day; they have come to listen to good words
i have heard that you intend to settle us on a reservation near the mountains. i dont want to settle.
i have told you the truth. i have no little lies hid about me, but i dont know how it is with the commissioners

Explanation:

An assertive tone conveys confidence, directness, and certainty. The quote "I have told you the truth. I have no little lies hid about me, but I don't know how it is with the commissioners" directly asserts Satanta's honesty with unapologetic confidence, which strongly reflects an assertive stance. The other options either state facts or express a preference, lacking the same bold, self-assured assertion of integrity.

Answer:

D. I have told you the truth. I have no little lies hid about me, but I don't know how it is with the commissioners
