what does the tone of a story tell the reader
a. the overall mood created in a story
b. what happens to the characters during a story
c. who tells a story
d. where a story takes place

the overall mood. 

The tone of a story is how the author shows the general attitude in the story. So if the story seems sad through the words, you can assume the rest of the story will be as well. 

Think of it as a horror movie. Weird or scary things happen in the beginning, and that general tone/theme will continue throughout. 

i took this test im trying to remember i think it is the first one im super sorry if i remembered wrong!

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
