Answer:

The answers to the question: What is the effect of this quote on the tone of the passage?, are: It gives a sense of the author's personal involvement, It contributes a passionate tone, and it contributes a factual tone.

The reason for these three being the correct answers comes from the use of words, the play of words, with which the author of the article puts forth his point. By using the first person pronoun (I), Chef José Andrés is personally involving himself in the program of promoting the use of these types of stoves and clean fuels, which supports the first choice. Second, he uses the word (proud), which is connection with the rest of the sentence makes the reader feel the passion that this writer feels towards the entire topic, especially because it seems as if it affected him directly in some way, so it makes that particular portion really passionate, and it makes you feel the passionate tone of the writer. The third reason is when the author provides the data, numerical data, to the quote, which immdiately shows that this man is not just pulling things out of nowhere to try an sell something, but he has actually performed research and knows the impact that what he is promoting will have on the people who benefit.
