Read the excerpt from "Bluesman on the Move." I might look old, but like I said, I'm new here. And if I'm ever gonna get where I'm going, I have to keep moving. Which word best describes the tone of these stanzas? a. indifferent b. exuberant c. embarrassed d. resolute

The correct answer is resolute.

Explanation:

By definition, resolute refers to someone who is determined in actions, ideas, or character. A resolute person knows what he/she wants, and isn't easily stopped from achieving it. We can see that the speaker in the stanzas is a resolute person. He/she is aware that he/she must keep on moving to get to the desired destination. The way he/she phrases his/her sentences is also very direct, which contributes to the resolute tone of the stanzas. For example, the speaker chooses to say "I have to" instead of "I should", which indicates a sense of obligation and necessity.
