It possibly could be because the nobility had a more refined speech pattern, while the uneducated commoners spoke a vernacular form of English

He did it to show the difference in their status and education.

Iambic pentameter is an elevated style, and Shakespeare created noble and educated characters who spoke in it. On the other hand, there were commoners who obviously did not belong to the same class as the nobles and did not receive the same education (if they had any education to begin with) so he wanted to show those differences through their speech. Nobles spoke in iambic pentameters, and commoners in blank verse or prose.

Write a paragraph describing what you believe will be your hardest challenges about working.
Orlov [11]

<em>Explanation and Suggested Steps: Writing</em>

1. Plan something about the struggles or challenges about working.

2. Then merge these ideas in a sentence and make it flow.

3. Remember to make it interesting, easy to read, and different.

4. Edit: Read again to make sure everything makes sense, check for grammar and punctuation, and look for any words to change.

5. Rewrite: After editing make sure it looks neat enough, and easy to follow along with.

<em>Example:</em>

Working can be a great, difficult, exciting experience for everyone. Working teaches and builds passion, patience, and pliability in everyone. It makes everyone understand and realise the real world. One of the hardest challenges of working can be fitting In. Figuring out how to be part of a new work culture can be frustrating at times, and being heard. It also takes time to gain the trust of coworkers to get them on board with your ideas, making mistakes, time management, slackers, disagreeable coworkers, office bullies, gossipers and trouble makers. Although some of us may differ we all still have our mistakes, struggles, and challenge.

5. Which sentence uses an informal tone to appeal to an audience of high school students?
Anna [14]

Answer:

4. Being a friend means being respectful, fair, interested, trustworthy, honest, caring, and kind.​

Explanation:

When someone is holding a speech, they need to pay attention to what their audience is like. The tone a speaker will use will not be the same when they're speaking to an audience that consists of scientists and one that consists of high school students.

Students mostly use informal language. Informal language is more casual, spontaneous, and personal than formal language, which is always carefully thought out and mostly used in a professional or academic setting.

The sentence that uses informal language is the fourth one. The vocabulary and sentence structure are simple and similar to what we would hear in everyday situations, which is typical for informal language.
