Answer 2

Excited is the word best describes Eudora Welty’s tone in "Eavesdropping".

Explanation:  

• ‘One Writer's Beginnings’ is a collection of autobiographical essays by Pulitzer Prize winning author Eudora Welty.  

• They are based on three specific lectures she gave at ‘Harvard University’ on "Listening," "Learning to See," and "Finding a Voice."

• In the essay "Listening" Eudora Welty refers to her habit of listening and eavesdropping in her youth and how these habits helped her to evolve as an insightful writer understanding the individual cadence of words.  

• When she eavesdrops she mentions there was an air of excitement in her as she tried to understand the meaning of the sentences.

• Since the tone of a piece of prose cannot be insightful hence the most appropriate answer is ‘excited’ and not ‘insightful’. The other options are not applicable.
