Question

Fellow Members of the Springfield Robotics Club: It has come to my attention that the workshop has been left an absolute mess on at least two separate occasions. Remember that this is a shared space, so we must clean up behind ourselves after every meeting. It is in the spirit of keeping our club meeting space that we establish this rule: when you take a tool off the rack, put it back. If everyone puts their tools back immediately after they are done using them, there will be minimal mess to clean up, and we won't get kicked out o f the spot. So if you like having a meeting place, put your tools back.

In 3–5 sentences, identify and explain words in the letter that create a negative tone. Support your answer with details from the text.

Answer 2

The letter conveys a negative tone through phrases like "absolute mess" and "at least two separate occasions," which emphasize the extent of the disorder and indicate a recurring problem. The author's use of "remember" implies a reprimand, suggesting that the members have neglected their responsibilities in the past. Additionally, the phrase "we won't get kicked out of the spot" evokes a sense of urgency and fear, reinforcing that the current behavior could jeopardize the club's ability to use the workshop. Overall, the language underscores disappointment and the need for immediate corrective action.

Answer 3

The letter has a negative tone because of phrases like "absolute mess," which shows how dirty the workshop is. The line "at least two separate occasions" suggests this has happened more than once, making it sound like a big problem. Also, when the writer says, "we won't get kicked out of the spot," it creates a feeling of worry that they might lose their meeting place. All these words emphasize that the club members need to do better at cleaning up after themselves.
