Which words from the passage help to create a dark or grim tone?
It is early morning on a Caribbean island, and African
slaves-hundreds of them-are being sent out to the
fields to pull weeds and burn the high, dry grass. Bent
over, palms callused from the small, tough stalks, smoke
scorching their eyes, they work. The overseer prowls
nearby, mounted on horseback, a rawhide whip fastened
to his saddle.
