The tone in “Barbara Frietchie” is one of admiration. The speaker clearly admires the stand that Frietchie takes when supporting the Union in front of the Confederate troops. Words such as bravest, loyal, and honor show that the speaker admires Barbara Frietchie’s courage. The poem also has a patriotic tone. This is evident when Frietchie tells the Confederate commander to shoot at her and not at the flag. Frietchie is proud of her beliefs and cannot bear to see the commander disrespect the Union flag.

For me, the answer is letter D.
Only choice D has the technical words associated to geography. The rest of the choices contain common words that any mundane could use. But choice D talks about geology itself in the ocean which is highly influenced by drilling and mining. Knowledgeable readers would understand this because drilling and mining require workers to tap into the geological rocks deep beneath the ground which may cause a significant alteration in the oceanic geology.
