Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. It took me nine hours to make, and I had thought about giving it to Sonny, the homeless person who I sometimes see standing outside the Alliance Française, because he puts me in heavy boots, or maybe to Lindy, the neat old woman who volunteers to give tours at the Museum of Natural History, so I could be something special to her, or even just to someone in a wheelchair. But instead I gave it to Mom. She said it was the best gift she’d ever received. Which word from this excerpt most reveals the tone?

Heavy is the word from the given excerpt that reveals the tone, as the narrator's list of ideas is bizarre and a bit outrageous. The narrator is confused too. Sometimes she thought of giving it to a homeless person, other times he thinks of giving it to a volunteer of the museum, secondly, he thought of giving it to some person in a wheelchair. Out of confusion, he finally gave it to his mother.
