question 11 of 21
whose point of view would most likely tell a story about a family in a small
town with a hopeless, frustrated tone?

a. a grandmother who decides to travel out of state for the first time
in her life

b. a father who decides to improve the community by running for
mayor

c. a mother who attempts various pursuits now that her children are
grown

d. a teenage daughter who sees her talent in track as her ticket to a
better life

Explanation:

We analyze each option's tone and motivation:

• Option A: A grandmother traveling out of state for the first time would likely have a tone of excitement, nervousness, or wonder, not hopelessness/frustration.
• Option B: A father running for mayor to improve the community has a proactive, hopeful, determined tone, which is the opposite of hopeless/frustrated.
• Option C: A mother exploring new pursuits after her children are grown would have a tone of curiosity, renewal, or optimism, not despair.
• Option D: A teenage daughter who sees track as her only escape from a small town would likely feel frustrated by her limited options and hopeless about her current situation in the town, matching the required tone.

Answer:

D. A teenage daughter who sees her talent in track as her ticket to a better life
