why is this the correct answer
are the answers to this correct?
Yes, the correct answers are:
- Writing a letter to a friend: It is appropriate to use informal language when writing a letter to a friend because you are likely to have a close relationship with them and be more casual in your communication.
- Texting a friend or family member: Similar to writing a letter to a friend, texting is often a more informal form of communication where shorthand and casual language are commonly used.
- Writing dialogue between two friends in a narrative: When writing dialogue between characters in a narrative, it is appropriate to use informal language that is appropriate for the character's relationship and personality.
The other options (presenting to the class, writing an informational text, writing an email to an employer) require more formal language and a professional tone.

The tone of voice in a collaborative discussion reflects the speaker's attitude.
explain why the answer is correct
The way a speaker delivers their words through tone of voice, pitch, and intonation can reveal their attitude towards the topic being discussed. For example, a speaker who is passionate about a topic might speak loudly and excitedly, while a speaker who is disinterested might speak more slowly and in a monotone voice. Therefore, the tone of voice in a collaborative discussion is an important indicator of the speaker's attitude.
