Which of the follow best describes the author’s shift in tone as she turns from discussing the example of the “oracular literary woman” (paragraph 2) to describing the “woman of true culture” (paragraph 3)?

Answer:

A: Mocking to earnest: while the author ridicules the oracular woman, she assumes a serious tone when describing the woman of culture.

Explanation: In the first two paragraphs, the author’s contemptuous attitude toward the “oracular literary woman” is apparent. The author describes the behavior of such women as “the most mischievous form of feminine silliness,” and lines such as “she spoils the taste of one’s muffin by questions of metaphysics” clearly portray the oracular woman as an object of ridicule. On the other hand, when describing the “woman of true culture,” the author adopts a more earnest tone as she paints the virtues of this figure—her modesty, consideration for others, and genuine literary talent—in idealized terms. A writer’s shifts in tone from one part of a text to another may suggest the writer’s qualification or refinement of their perspective on a subject. In this passage, the author’s sincere, idealized portrait of the woman of true culture plays an important role in qualifying the argument of the passage: although the author agrees with the men in line 41 that the “literary form” of feminine silliness deserves ridicule, she rejects generalizations about women’s intellectual abilities that the oracular woman unwittingly reinforces. Embodying the author’s vision of what women could attain if they were given a “more solid education,” the figure of the cultured woman serves to temper the derisive (mocking) portrayal of women intellectuals in the first part of the passage.

The one that describes the shift of the author's tone:

A). Mocking to earnest: while the author ridicules the oracular woman, she assumes a serious tone when describing the woman of culture.

The tone is characterized by the way the author adopts a perspective to present the respective content or subject matter prior to the readers.

In the initial paragraphs, the author takes up a disdainful attitude which is displayed through the descriptions like "oracular literary women" and "most mischievous women."

This shows that he mocks at her but shifts to a serious tone while recounting the cultured woman.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Should teens be paid at a rate lower than the minimum wage?
I appreciate the fact that some teens need to work to help support their families. But to do that, they
need to land jobs in the first place,
The bottom line is that lowering the minimum wage for teens makes it easier for them to find jobs. Ane
helping all Americans find work will ultimately help improve our nation's economy.

Why should workers get paid less simply because they happen to be teenagers? If a teen is performing
the same tasks as a 20-year-old, he or she should earn the same amount of money.
Many teens have to work to help support their families. Others live on their own or are trying to save
money for college. In recent years, the cost of higher education has skyrocketed. According to the
College Board, average annual tuition and fees at four-year public colleges and universities have more
than doubled in the past 20 years. If teens are forced to accept lower wages, it will be even harder for
them to afford a degree. And research shows that people who graduate from college typically go on to
earn higher wages.
Young people aren't the only ones who would be affected by a lower teen wage. If employers find it
cheaper to hire teens, older workers might get passed over for jobs.
It's unfair to pay teens less than adults simply because of their age.
A lot of pay inequality already exists in the U.S. For example, the Census Bureau estimates that women
earn about 82 cents for every dollar a man makes. We shouldn't pass laws that reinforce wage
discrimination especially when there's little evidence to suggest that businesses would create new
jobs for teens if they could pay them less than adults.
Not to mention, the U.S. economy depends heavily on consumer spending, and teens spend billions of
dollars every year. If young people earn less money, they won't spend as much. That's bad for the
economy
Every hardworking American deserves to receive fair compensation, and that includes teens. After all,
isn't paying people an honest wage for honest work a fundamental American value?
