Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the passage with a more pitying tone, we analyze the emotional cues. The first passage describes basic needs (hunger, thirst) being met matter - of - factly. The second passage uses words like "frightened", "moaned dismally", "cold and hungry", "more alone than ever" which evoke a sense of sympathy and pity for the character's plight. These descriptions create a more pitiable situation compared to the first passage's simple account of satisfying needs.

Answer:

The second passage (starting with "He felt frightened at first, for the wind moaned dismally over the empty fields: and he was cold and hungry, and more alone than he had ever felt before. Being very tired with his walk, however, he soon fell asleep and forgot his troubles.")
