12. Read the following lines from the poem "Africa."

Impetuous son that tree young and strong
That tree there
In splendid loveliness amidst white and faded flowers
That is Africa your Africa
That grows again patiently obstinately
And its fruit gradually acquires
The bitter taste of liberty
Which word best describes the tone created by these lines?

(1 point)
consoling***
firm

Look up those four words here -- http://www.onelook.com -- and try again.
The answer is firm, but I think consoling makes more sense
