Explanation:

Part 1: Highlight words with negative connotations

To identify words with negative connotations, we analyze the emotional or implied meaning of each word:

• suspends: Implies a forced or unwanted halt, has a negative connotation as it's about stopping a long - running service.
• regret: Expresses sorrow or disappointment, clearly negative.
• not be able to carry on: The inability to continue a valued work, negative.
• removal: In this context, it likely refers to a forced relocation (given the historical context of Japanese - Americans during WWII), which is negative.

Part 2: Determine the tone from "regret" and "removal"

The word "regret" shows a feeling of sadness or disappointment about not being able to continue their work. The word "removal" (in the context of the Japanese - American experience during wartime) is associated with loss and hardship. These words together create a sad tone as they convey sorrow and a sense of loss rather than anger (which would be more confrontational) or fear (which would be about apprehension).

Answer:

• Words with negative connotations: suspends, regret, not be able to carry on, removal
• Tone: sad
