Read the excerpt below and answer the question. i went inside then and in a moment he was gone. i watched him from the window as he went down the street. he was whistling softly and i waited until the sound faded away so i couldn't tell if it was he or my heart whistling out there in the night. and then he was gone, completely gone. i shivered. somehow the darkness seemed changed. the stars were little hard chips of light far up in the sky and the moon stared down with a sullen yellow glare. the air was tense with sudden cold and a gust of wind swirled his footprints into the white oblivion. everything was quiet. but he'd said, "i'll call you." that's what he said—"i'll call you." i couldn't sleep all night. which word best describes the tone of this excerpt from daly's "sixteen"? a.ashamed b.confused c.disappointed d.hopeful

In the given excerpt from Daly's "Sixteen", 'hopeful' is the word that best describes the tone in the passage which is reflected by the phrase 'somehow the darkness seemed changed', 'light far up in the sky', etc. The description of voice 'I'll call you' instills the speaker with a faith that reflects the author's 'optimistic and hopeful approach' to overcome the 'tense air' and 'yellow glare' of her lover's separation. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
