Your mother’s friend has just returned from abroad and requests that you live with her. Thank her for the offer but politely reject it, giving her three reasons for not accepting her offer

what is the question?

explanation:

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.)

choices ? or is this a actual question from yourself ?

direct object would be the answer
