Read this paragraph from "Caring for Vets Should Be National Duty."
Of course, nonprofit organizations like the Wounded Warrior Project have been offering these life-affirming tools for well over a decade. But why should it be up to private charities to take care of those who battled and bled for their country?
Which word best describes the tone of the paragraph?
irate
frustrated
anxious
condescending
This comes off mostly as condescending to me.
The use of a rhetorical question at the end of the paragraph, "Why should it be up to private charities to take care of those who battled and bled for their country?" is almost like a challenge. Why isn't the government responsible? Like that.
The definition of condescending is having or showing a feeling of patronizing superiority. The author's tone, at least to me, sounds like they feel they are in a position to talk out about this. And towards the government, at least, the tone would be condescending.
The author isn't hand-wringing anxious, or extremely frustrated, either. That would leave the last option, condescending.
Answer:
condescending

Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea in the darkness calls and calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but nevermore
Returns the traveller to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
