Question
What tone does the author
as "the bathtub ring'?
create by referring the water marks in Glen Canyon
The rising and falling water level entails various
consequences. One of the most obvious, well known to all
who have seen Lake Mead, is the "bathtub ring' left on the
canyon walls after each drawdown of water, or what
rangers at Glen Canyon call the Bathtub Formation. This
phenomenon is perhaps of no more than aesthetic
importance; yet it is sufficient to dispel any illusion one
might have, in contemplating the scene, that you are
looking upon a natural lake.
A. A disgusting tone
B. A critical tone
C. A positive tone
Answer
The author does not create a specific tone by referring to the "bathtub ring" in Glen Canyon.
