B. Lucy corners Elinor and tells her of her secret engagement to Edward.

Explanation:

Lucy is just used as a tool to show Elinor's tolerance and the fact that Edward is very immature. Lucy is actually the whom Edward has been engaged to. The engagement lasted for about four years, but Edward breaks it off after their engagement is discovered.

whats the passage

explanation:

you have no answers to choose

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
