Ona walked for days, determined to find safety on higher Ground. If she read her instruments correctly, she was adjacent to a national forest
Ona had been spotted in maneuvered into the bow of a rowboat, and, as legend tells slept through the whole affair
After rinsing each dish in the creek, she tried them with her shirt sleeve and put them back in place
I meant
though two walls were missing. She concluded it was due to wind and rain and the birch tree that had swindled its way up in through the middle of the sweet abandon home.
You are correct, the excerpt "though two walls were missing. She concluded it was due to wind and rain and the birch tree that had swindled its way up in through the middle of the sweet abandon home" uses language that helps to build an informal tone.
So which 2 are the correct answers
The correct answers are:
1. Ona had been spotted in maneuvered into the bow of a rowboat, and, as legend tells slept through the whole affair
2. Though two walls were missing. She concluded it was due to wind and rain and the birch tree that had swindled its way up in through the middle of the sweet abandon home.
The excerpts from the passage that build an informal tone are:
1. "Ona had been spotted in maneuvered into the bow of a rowboat, and, as legend tells slept through the whole affair."
2. "After rinsing each dish in the creek, she tried them with her shirt sleeve and put them back in place."
These excerpts use informal language and sentence structure (e.g., using "legend tells" instead of a more formal construction, and the use of "tried them with her shirt sleeve" instead of a more formal method of testing the dishes).
