Question

6 The reason has to do with the amount of information our
minds can hold at any one time. Imagine your brain is like a
backpack. If it’s filled to the top with just the skills required
for the game, there’s no room left for any distractions. You’re
completely immersed in that imaginary world. But put in too
much and your backpack will break—you’ll get stressed and fed
up with playing; too little, and you’ll start thinking about that
party next week.
What tone does the author create by comparing our brains to backpacks in paragraph 6?

Responses

Conversational


Humorous


Encouraging


Curious

Answer 1

Conversational.

The backpack metaphor uses everyday language ("Imagine," "your backpack will break," "that party next week") and directly talks to the reader in an informal, relatable way rather than being overtly funny, curious, or encouraging.
