I think I know what's going on. For more than a decade

now, I've been spending a lot of time online, searching and
surfing and sometimes adding to the great databases of
the Internet. The Web has been a godsend to me as a
writer. Research that once required days in the stacks or
periodical rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes.
A few Google searches, some quick clicks on hyperlinks,
and I've got the telltale fact or pithy quote I was after.

C. Perceptive and reflective

Carr's tone in this passage is more introspective and contemplative as he reflects on how the internet has changed and affected his writing process. He acknowledges the benefits and conveniences of using the internet for research, but also seems to be considering the potential drawbacks or implications of relying too heavily on it.
