allery"Oh great, another rainy Monday!" The speaker's tone is:
ACheerful
BSarcastic
CGrateful
DAdmiring
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Sarcastic
1. Sarcasm uses words to mock, often with a humorous edge.
2. The speaker says "great" about something unpleasant: a rainy Monday.
3. The praise is the opposite of what is felt.
4. So the tone is sarcastic, not cheerful, grateful or admiring.
**Why not the others:** Cheerful, grateful and admiring would mean the speaker truly likes the rainy Monday, which the context does not show.
