This book should be avoided like the plague it's so bad.
Explanation:
Academic papers demand a more formal tone that confers more objectivity to them. They avoid using the first person, expressing subjective opinions, and using an overall informal, colloquial language. The purpose is to present information via an impersonal tone. Among the sentences we were provided for analysis, there are three that present a personal opinion of the speaker in quite a colloquial manner, using everyday language to convey a subjective perspective:
When you think about it, this poem is really crazy.
I can't believe that people think that this writer's talented.

Explanation:
Medium scoring essays, according to guidelines, are those essays that provide no special insight.
The important points that make an essay high-scoring are:
- That the essay should speak about the topic and not deviate from it.
- The paragraphs should be well organized, that is, should shift from one point to another making all the points clear.
- The essay should be thoroughly developed.
- It should be sophisticated in style.
<u>An essay that just cites and summarizes specific information from the text and does not provide insight with the text will be considered as a medium scoring essay as it provides the writer's idea in a simplistic way and predictable information only</u>.
So, the correct answer is option C.
