What is the tone of the following lines in "At the Tourist Centre in Boston"? I seem to remember people, at least in the cities, also slush, machines and assorted garbage. Perhaps that was my private mirage which will just evaporate when I go back. a) embarrassed b) ironic c) solemn d) sardonic

idk

explanation:

are you asking for advice? if so, i think its great! i like how you gave specific details. i think you will get a good grade on it!

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
