The Tone-Shift Question
Captions available
The idea
A separate question type asks where a passage's tone changes. It presupposes two tones and a hinge between them. The task is locating the hinge, which means finding the sentence where the diction stops belonging to the first attitude and starts belonging to the second.
In practice
Find the hinge sentence.
Where people slip
Two tones are presupposed by the question.
