The word "so" is used to indicate the consequence or result of the dislike, which is the nutritional value of the vegetables.
2) The irrelevant sentence in the passage is D) sentence 4. The sentence reads: "But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free." This sentence introduces a new and different idea that is not directly related to the previous context of the passage. The other sentences before and after specifically address the impact of the Emancipation Proclamation and the ongoing struggle for freedom, while sentence 4 deviates from this focus.
To identify the irrelevant sentence, you can analyze the content and relevance of each sentence to the overall message and theme of the passage.
3) The sentence written using informal language is C) "Tony picked up the tab for our dinner last night." This sentence uses colloquial language, specifically the phrase "picked up the tab," which is an informal expression for paying the bill or covering the cost of a meal.
To identify the informal sentence, you can look for informal expressions, slang, or phrases that are commonly used in conversational language but may not be appropriate for formal writing.
