Which sentence does the most to create an informal tone?
A. There were many gifts—that was a plus to a large family!
B. My initial desire to be known by my correct Dominican name faded.*
C. For if I specified, no one was quite sure on what continent our island was located.
D. My Dominican heritage was never more apparent than when my extended family attended school occasions.
Not B. That's quite formal!
Read the other three aloud — or ask your mom or dad to read it to you. I think you need to HEAR them to be able to tell.
is it c
To determine which sentence does the most to create an informal tone, we should look for elements and language patterns that are commonly associated with casual or conversational speech. Let's analyze each sentence:
A. "There were many gifts—that was a plus to a large family!" - This sentence includes the use of the word "that" and the phrase "a plus," which are more commonly used in informal speech. However, it still maintains a somewhat formal structure and tone.
B. "My initial desire to be known by my correct Dominican name faded." - This sentence uses more formal language and structure, indicating a less informal tone.
C. "For if I specified, no one was quite sure on what continent our island was located." - This sentence includes the phrase "for if," which is less formal language and suitable for casual conversation. It also uses the phrase "no one was quite sure," which adds an informal tone.
D. "My Dominican heritage was never more apparent than when my extended family attended school occasions." - This sentence uses formal language and structure, suggesting a less informal tone.
Based on the analysis above, sentence C does the most to create an informal tone, as it includes phrases and language patterns commonly found in casual conversation.
No, not C.
That's two wrong guesses. I hope you can HEAR the informality in one of the two remaining choices.
