In some places, the track emerges from the second stories of warehouses it once serviced into elevated lanes of wild crocuses, irises, evening primrose, asters, and queen anne's lace. so many new yorkers, glancing down from windows in chelsea's art district, were moved by the sight of this untended, flowering green ribbon, prophetically and swiftly laying claim to a dead slice of their city, that it was dubbed the high line and officially designated a park. which of the following statements best describes how the author develops the tone in this passage?
a. he uses metaphor to describe how an abandoned part of new york came to life.
b. he uses imagery-based descriptions of the flowers that sprung up untended, and the new yorkers' reaction to them, creating a reflective tone.
c. he uses simplistic language to describe the transformation of an abandoned rail yard to an oasis, creating an instructional tone.
d. he uses fact-based descriptions of the abandoned new york railroad taken over by a variety of weeds, creating a detached tone.

The correct option is b: He uses imagery-based descriptions of the flowers that sprung up untended, and the New Yorkers’ reaction to them, creating a reflective tone

Explanation:

The correct option is b: He uses imagery-based descriptions of the flowers that sprung up untended, and the New Yorkers’ reaction to them, creating a reflective tone because the author is narrating literally how the New York’s park High Line started; to obtain and maintain the lector’s attention he links all the kind of flowers and plants that sprung up to the people's reaction to help him to imagine the scene, putting him, at the same time, as the level of the New Yorkers’ who lived that moment. We can see this narration mechanism in the second line, where all the flowers’ names are told: “Wild crocuses, irises, evening primrose, asters, and Queen Anne’s lace”.

The first option, A. He uses metaphor to describe how an abandoned part of New York came to life, is not operable because the author is not using any metaphor; in fact he is narrating an event that really happened; C option: He uses simple language to describe the transformation of an abandoned rail yard to an oasis, creating an instructional tone is not the correct one because he is not using simplistic language and we can see it, for example, in the mastery of writing that he has at the moment of linking the flowers’ species with the facts that happened; finally D option: He uses fact-based descriptions of the abandoned New York railroad taken over by a variety of weed, creating a detached tone isn't the correct one because the author is not incorporating facts like dates, people’s name or, who took the decision to make it a park, so it is hard to say that he used fact-based descriptions.
