Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.‘O hear me, lord, blue girdler of the islands,
if I am thine indeed, and thou art father:
grant that Odysseus, raider of cities, never
see his home: Laertes' son, I mean,
who kept his hail on Ithaca. Should destiny
intend that he shall see his roof again
among his family in his father land,
far be that day, and dark the years between.
Let him lose all companions, and return
under strange sail to bitter days at home.'

This excerpt doesn't give much detail but I'm pretty sure this is Polyphemus speaking. He is a cyclops, and son of Poseidon. When Odysseus and his men were trapped in a cave with the giant man-eating cyclops, they plotted to blind him and escape. So Odysseus got Polyphemus drunk on some kind of wine and waited for him to pass out. Then they got a huge stick or branch, sharpened the end and plunged it into the giant's eye. One can easily surmise that Polyphemus would seek revenge for this, so answer B is definite. Answer A might be an additional factor, as Polyphemus does refer to him in this passage as "raider of cities"--indicating perhaps some disapproval--but the damage to his (only!) eye would be the most important issue, since that is personal.

both A and B are the answers

Read the opening lines of Sojourner Truth’s speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about? (What tone do these lines convey?) a formal and reserved tone/ a conversational and inquisitive tone /a dissatisfied and pessimistic tone /a hopeful and idealistic tone /

Answers

The correct answer is: a conversational and inquisitive tone.

Indeed, the tone or register is definitely informal. This is not a carefully drafted speech, read with rhetorical method and oratorical inflection. This is actually a very conversational reflection on the issues of gender equality and racial equality.  The speaker is just conversing with the audience in her own plain language in order to convey a more intimate significance to her message on gender equality.

It is also inquisitive because she initially does not use a prescriptive approach for her soliloquy. She actually performs the action of placing the question and then using logic and reasoning to answer it. In this manner she also engages the audience to do the same and arrive at their own conclusions which are of course intended to coincide with hers since her reasoning is already providing the answers.

Its a conversational and inquisitive tone* 
because she tells everyone "Ain't i a Woman?" and also when she says "well, children," means that she is talking to someone and proves that this is conversational.
