When the articles of confederation were drafted, americans had had little experience of what a national government could do for them and bitter experience of what an arbitrary government could do to them. in creating a central government they were therefore more concerned with keeping it under control than with giving it the means to do its job."
-edmund s. morgan, the birth of the republic, 1763-89, 1956
what pieces of evidence would best support the author's conclusion?

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
