What describes a tone in which words are delivered at the same tone and pitch without variation?

• A. Jargon
• B. Monotone
• C. Message
• D. Metaphor

Answer: (B)

Monotone describes speech delivered with the same tone and pitch throughout, with little to no variation in intonation. This flat delivery can make the message feel dull or emotionless and can reduce how well listeners pick up emphasis or meaning, since we rely on pitch changes to signal new ideas or importance. Jargon is specialized vocabulary used by a particular group, not a description of how something is spoken. A message refers to the content being conveyed, rather than the delivery style. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two things to illuminate meaning, not a description of pitch variation.
