A) Please allow me the opportunity to argue for a better grade

Explanation:

Problematic means being doubtful, full of problems, uncertain and being questionable while tone means a vocal sound that expresses or shows one feelings or thoughts.

From the above definitions, we can now say that a problematic tone entails when a speaker expresses his feelings in a doubtful or questionable manner.

So, from the question, the statement where the speaker expresses his feelings in a doubtful manner is the statement

"Please allow me the opportunity to argue for a better grade".

In the statement the speaker is doubtful of the grade he/she was given, and it seems the speaker is contesting the decision. The speaker feels he deserves a better grade.

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!

the answer should be a)directions.
