Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 1 AIL 0016 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Question Type Six: Find the Tone Shift
Captions available
The idea
The exam names a line range and asks what the tone shifts to there. Sample question six asks where an eighteenth-century apostrophe turns playful and humorous. The shift is the point, so the tone before the shift is the wrong answer.
In practice
The shift, not the opening tone.
Where people slip
Answer for the named lines only.
