the question asks me to describe the writer's style (serious, sarcastic, etc.)
what could be some other answers to this question?
Style has to do with HOW writers use words and sentences, as well a how they construct sentences, paragraphs, etc.
Style can be formal, informal, succinct, wordy, flowery, plain, and many others.
