What should you circle in a passage to help identify an author's attitude?

  1. Actions of characters

  2. Main ideas

  3. Transitional words

  4. Numerical Keywords

The correct answer is: Transitional words

Transitional words are crucial in helping identify an author's attitude because they signal shifts in tone or perspective within a passage. Words such as "however," "nevertheless," "although," or "on the other hand" can indicate contrasts or concessions made by the author, giving insight into their attitude towards the subject matter. Paying attention to these transitional words can provide valuable clues for understanding the author's tone and perspective throughout the passage.
