Will give brainliest me stranded tracy wilson april 25. even the morning air is sultry today. i would have fished for my breakfast last night before sunset, but i knew that it would surely spoil before morning. drinking my water warm has taken some getting used to. it’s funny how we take certain things like ice for granted. if i become desperate i can always resort to eating the freeze-dried rations, but that defeats my purpose for being here, to begin with. besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree. i think i have almost learned to track the time by the rays of the sun. time, like water, seems to sit in a pot unable to boil if your eye isn’t constantly on it. time seems to be the only thing that man hasn’t learned to control, but i am sure some genius like fred johnson is currently working on it while sitting in a cubicle checking the four thousand emails on his palm pilot. as for me, i think i will lean back on this dune and nap a while before i head out to catch some lunch. read the passage on the top to answer the following questions: 1) the tone of the passage indicates that the author a) is starving to death. b) has a health problem. c) is shipwrecked on an island. d) chose to live in a deserted place. 2) what is the overall tone of the passage? a) confusion b) delightful c) reflective d) sorrowful 3) the author's description of fred johnson shows her use of a) dialogue. b) personification. c) sarcasm. d) understatement.

Answer 1 is D.
Answer 2 is C.
Answer 3 is C.
Explanation:
For the first question, the tone of the passage indicates that the author (D) chose to live in a deserted place. This can be seen with the phrase "If I become desperate I can always resort to eating the freeze-dried rations, but that defeats my purpose for being here, to begin with" which would lead to understand that it was a decision and not an accident.
The answer for question 2 is C. The overall tone of the passage is reflective. As can be read, the author does not complain about any of the facts that he/she states, such as "drinking warm water" or "spoiled fish", but he/she does mention them as part of the initial purpose. There's no trace of sorrow or confusion, but there is a way of thinking and a new appreciation of simple thins, as ice.
The answer for question 3 is C. The author is being sarcastic, and that's because he/she thinks that what Fred Johnson does is a complete waste of time ("checking the four thousand emails on his Palm Pilot"). The author also refers to him as a Genius but it's perfectly noticeable that the author prefers his/her life now over Fred's life.
