Read these lines from macbeth:
the west yet glimmers with some streaks of day:
now spurs the lated traveller apace,
to gain the timely inn; and near approaches
the subject of our watch.

which of the following is true of the words lated traveller as used here?

lated is likely a shakespearian version of belated.

lated is meant to suggest the travelers are important.

lated, like knighted, is something bestowed.

lated suggests the travelers themselves are not at fault.

- "he is a very real person and his intent isn't to influence us vonnegut addresses this towards the end of the letter when he says, if we choose to curse, that is by our own individual means."

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
