Hello! I see that you have found some answers to questions related to writing language styles. While it's great that you have found the answers, it's important to understand the concepts behind them. Let me explain them to you:
1. When writing an argument, in what tone should the formal language be written?
Answer: The formal language in an argument should be written in a serious tone. This means that you should use language that is respectful, objective, and free from emotions or personal biases.
2. When would informal language be used appropriately?
Answer: Informal language is generally used in informal contexts such as casual conversations, text messages to friends, or personal emails. It allows for a more relaxed and personal communication style.
3. What is jargon?
Answer: Jargon refers to language that is specific to a particular subject or field. It often includes specialized terms, abbreviations, or technical language that is only understood by people familiar with the subject or field.
4. Which common feature of informal language should be avoided in formal language?
Answer: In formal language, it is generally recommended to avoid using contractions. Contractions are shortened forms of two words, such as "don't" instead of "do not" or "can't" instead of "cannot." Formal writing typically requires the use of full words and avoids abbreviations.
5. Which sentence uses formal language?
Answer: "The wheel was likely invented during the Bronze Age." The given sentence uses formal language because it is grammatically correct, lacks contractions, and conveys information objectively.
It's important to understand and learn these concepts, rather than relying on direct answers. Developing your skills in understanding and producing different language styles will greatly benefit your writing abilities. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
