Read the example below and think about the writer's tone. Running as a form of exercise is easy to do because it does not require any special equipment. You will need good shoes, but you may already have a pair that will work. Besides that, the only other thing you will need is a safe place to run. Often people run in their neighborhood or in a park. Others use a treadmill or run at a track, but any of these options, as long as they are safe, can provide a place to get an excellent workout.

How does the writer establish credibility through her tone?
A. by using colloquialisms and idioms
B. by adhering to the conventions of standard written English
C. by using a variety of sentence types and lengths
D. by using a mix of formal and informal language

explanation:

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.

i have no idea buudy for the points tho
