Which best describes marcus' tone in this excerpt from little brother? mom gave me a long hug, and i noticed how thin her arms had gotten, how saggy the skin on her neck was. i always thought of my mother as young, pale, rosy-cheeked and cheerful, peering shrewdly through her metal-rim glasses. now she looked a little like an old woman. i had done that to her. the terrorists had done that to her. the department of homeland security had done that to her. remorseful sarcastic judgmental

remorseful is your best answer

"remorseful" means "filled with remorse, sorry". Even though it is not said, it is implied that he is sorry, because he thinks back to the history of how his mom ended up like that.

hope this helps

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
