Feel better, live longer...with vitamin Shmoop. Feeling an indescribable urge to re-read this

00:12

passage? Go ahead and hit pause... no one's stopping you.

00:16

The tone of the passage is...what?

00:26

00:36

Just humor us, as we play a little game called "Throw a Rock at the Wrong Answer."

00:41

Is the passage overly academic?

00:44

Nope. Lurid and sensational?

00:48

Nuh-uh. Does the author act like he's too cool to

01:03

We'll go ahead and drop a boulder on that one.

01:06

Looks like the final choice is the only one left standing.

01:09

01:13

throughout the passage... and the article is an easy read.

01:16

Congratulations, choice E, you've survived this round. No rocks for you.
