Almost ten thousand were killed. They joyfully killed their nefarious enemies. Some Saracens, Arabs, and Ethiopians took refuge in the Tower of David.

Answer 1

The author's statement, "They joyfully killed their nefarious enemies," creates a tone that paints little care for the lives taken away during the attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of the phrase "...joyfully killed..." depicts that the attackers felt positively about the lives they were taking away, because it was the lives of "...their nefarious enemies".

Answer 2

They joyfully killed their nefarious enemies

Step-by-step explanation:

If the writer shows little empathy for the murder of the mulsumans, it means that, for the author, the life of the mulsumans does not matter, the author does not like them. For this reason, the statement that best supports this claim is "They joyfully killed their nefarious enemies" because whoever kills an enemy will have little empathy for this death, on the contrary, the killer will feel satisfied and happy for the death of the one the killer does not like .
