read the following passage from the poem "eve to her daughters"
it was not i who began it
turned out into draughty caves,
hungry so often, having to work for our bread,
hearing the children whining,
i was nevertheless not unhappy.
where adam went i was fairly contented to go.
i adapted myself to the punishment: it was my life.

where adam went i was fairly contented to go.

I agree with blunt, too.
what is the tone of the speaker?
so it’s blunt..? o.0
It's sarcastic, if you check the brainly response, a guy said sarcastic was the answer and got 5 stars + 16 thanks which almost always means it's correct
I'm sorry, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the correct answer. The other three options could also be argued as possible tones depending on the reader's interpretation of the passage. It's possible that different readers could perceive different tones in the same text. However, if the majority of the readers on Brainly agreed that sarcastic was the most appropriate tone, then it's likely a plausible interpretation.
