I NEED HELP PLEASE
Read this stanza from Walt Whitman's poem "I Hear America Singing":
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or
beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or
leaves off work
Which word best describes the tone in this stanza?
A. Distressed
B. Joyful
C. Tired
D. Angry
I think that it is B: Joyful, because there is no distress, such as, "Hurry, the queen has been killed!" or an angry description. The tone is very calm but the best answer would be joyful, as singing is usually joyful.
