What type of words should you circle to identify an author's attitude toward a particular idea or person?

Adjectives and adverbs
Transitional words
Verbs and pronouns
Contrasting words

The correct answer is: Adjectives and adverbs

When identifying an author's attitude towards a particular idea or person, it is crucial to circle adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns, while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. These types of words often provide insight into the author's tone and feelings towards the subject matter. Transitional words (choice B) typically indicate a shift in ideas or sequence, rather than the author's attitude. Verbs and pronouns (choice C) focus more on action and subject matter rather than attitude. Contrasting words (choice D) may indicate differences or discrepancies, but they do not directly reveal the author's attitude.
