Which sentence best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book ?

B. The radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

Explanation:

The War of the Worlds is a book by H. G. Wells, which was also adapted as a radio broadcast by Orson Welles. In its book form, the story is told after the events (a Martian invasion) have taken place. They are also told in a more matter-of-fact tone. On the other hand, in the radio broadcast, the events are told in a way that makes it seem as if they were happening in the moment. The speaker sounds more scared, and the overall tone is more surprised.
