Read the passage from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous and magnificent yet so vicious and base? He appeared at one time a mere scion of the
evil principle, and at another as all that can be conceived of as noble and godlike.
What word best describes the tone of this passage?
1. threatening
2. sentimental
3. philosophical
4. melancholy lo

Answer:

I believe the word that best describes the tone of the passage is:

3. philosophical.

Explanation:

The passage is questioning the very nature of man - our capacity to be both good and evil, vile and noble. The beginning of the passage itself presents a philosophical question: "Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous and magnificent yet so vicious and base?" Philosophy has as its purpose the questioning of our assumptions and understandings concerning different topics - for instance life, morals, behavior, meanings, etc. A passage that questions human nature seems, therefore, to be a philosophical passage.

3. Philosophical

The ventilators are set to face the quarter from which the wind blows and let it blow into the house. This they do because they cannot endure the over-powering heat.

Rich had to completely guess on almost half the questions on his final
exam, and he then left all the other questions blank. "Guess I'll be
taking Particle Physics again next semester," he said to himself, and he
felt so embarrassed that he wrote a fake name on the test, the most
random name he could think of: Yann Scheele.
But there was actually a student named Yann Scheele at the university,
and he sat three rows down from Rich and had just patted himself on
the back for studying hard and acing nearly every question. He got up
and slapped his test down on the professor's desk, and then looked
around and saw that he was one of the first students to finish. He had
to resist the urge to dance on his way out of the lecture hall.

Read the poem. Song of the Open Road by Walt Whitman Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose. Henceforth I ask not good-fortune—I myself am good-fortune; Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Strong and content, I travel the open road. . . . From this hour, freedom! From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines, Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute, Listening to others, and considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. I inhale great draughts of space; The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine. I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so much goodness. All seems beautiful to me; I can repeat over to men and women, You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you. I will recruit for myself and you as I go; I will scatter myself among men and women as I go; I will toss the new gladness and roughness among them; Whoever denies me, it shall not trouble me; Whoever accepts me, he or she shall be blessed, and shall bless me.
