Read the excerpt from an essay about the red wolf.
the red wolf, a native of the southern united states, is on the brink of extinction. its status on the critically endangered list suggests a dire circumstance, despite efforts to restore its population. its threats include hunting, new construction, and death by motor vehicle. but the most pervasive hindrance to the restoration effort is human ambivalence. few are willing to serve as defenders of the ‘big bad wolf,’ but the red wolf is in dire need of human assistance. people must disregard this misnomer and offer a measure of human kindness and consideration to this graceful creature.
how does the author's word choice affect the tone of the excerpt?
the words effort and ambivalence impart an indifferent tone.
the words critically and threats impart a fierce tone.
the words dire and must impart a passionate tone.
the words kindness and consideration impart a gentle tone.

The right answer is the C) The words dire and must impart a passionate tone.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that the tone in this excerpt is definitely neither gentle nor indifferent, so options A and D should be discarded. The author is clearly stating his or her uncondicional opinion in favor of avoiding the impending extinction of the red wolf. However, the tone is not fierce, either, but rather enlightening and conciliatory. The right option is, therefore, the C. By using the words "dire" and "must" the author is warning the readers about the desperate situation of these creatures and calling for an immediate action, which involves ignoring the negative connotations of the nickname by which the red wolf is known.
