hye faculty , please explain the crucial details we need to look for while answering question based on the tone . sometimes is is difficult to tell that if the passage is discriptive or analytical . or sometimes analytical or critical because "critical is sometimes used as ' çritique ' , this maybe informative or analytical . we know the basic difference about these tones but sometimes it's hard to figure out whether it is opyion A or option B . especially in he case of analytical and informative . please list out the advance details and difference b/w analytical , critical{negitive / critique } , discriptive and narrative . !!

Critical = I have a point to prove, and so I make judgements using sound logic. It may seem cold and slightly negative in a few cases. Critical need not always have a negative tone. As long as the author puts forward his judgement using reason, one can consider the tone as critical. On the other hand, a the term critic is associated with negativity.
Descriptive = Any passage that has a lot of adjectives and provides the reader a mental picture of the topic that is discussed. Rama killed Ravana. Rama killed Ravana, the king of Lanka ... etc.
Analytical= Imagine a scale or a balance. The author thinks out loud, ie, uses reason to view the two sides of the coin and finally arrive at a conclusion. In most cases, he may not be opinionated or biased towards a point, unlike a critical tone.
Narrative = If the passage talks about India's freedom struggle, what happened, who killed who, etc without any points to think critically or minimal, the passage is narrative. Choose descriptive if you find much more adjectives in the passage. In both cases, expect almost all paras to have context and literally zero arguments.
Finally,
If the passage has 7 paras or so, use :
1. Critical tone = If context is limited to the first two paras or less and the remaining paras indicate the opinion and arguments.
2. Analytical = Same as above, but author's opinion is likely to be missing here. In some cases, he will have a very weak stance, not as much as the above.
3. Descriptive and Narrative = Consider yourself lucky. No arguments whatsoever. You can literally speed up on this one.
Most passages are either critical or analytical.
Hope this helps!
