Question

Read this excerpt from We’ve Got a Job: The 1963 Children’s March.

By the time Wash was in seventh grade, he’d skip school for weeks at a time. "My friends and I would go into the woods and build a campfire [or] walk down the railroad tracks,” he said. Sometimes he’d go to the colored library, sit in the back room, and read. "It was all an adventure,” according to Wash. He liked wearing a Davy Crockett coonskin cap on his adventures.

What is the tone of the excerpt?

judgmental
solemn
sentimental
brave

Answer 1

The best answer here is sentimental because the quotes used recall a time in the past of the speaker, one that he obviously thinks of fondly. If we look at the other choices, we can see that they don't make much sense because there is nothing about the passage that is judgmental, solemn, or brave. But, since he is recounting his adventures in the woods and the library, even stating that it was all an adventure, sentimental makes the most sense.

Answer 2

Hi my smarties the answer is 100% Sentimental.
