Who says the following and why?
"so i rule all this wealth with no great joy.
you must have heard my story from your fathers,
whoever they are—what hardships i endured,
how i lost this handsome palace built for the ages,
filled to its depths with hoards of gorgeous things."

is it rising action, falling action, climax, or resolution? need answer also

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.)
