At W. W. Direct, I really just began as a lowly data-acquisition specialist, but through a lot of hard work and a very strong wo
rk ethic I eventually became a data analyst and earned a much, much higher hourly wage. What is the style of this excerpt from Paul F. Covington's cover letter?
A. Wordy
B. Professional
C. Formal
D. Precise
Paul F. Covington 's excerpt sounds wordy because he has written information which is not relevant to apply for a job. Besides, he also sounds quite informal. "I really <em>just</em> began as a<em> lowly </em>data-acquisition specialist.." in this quotation the words in italics are instances of informal language. "....but through a lot of hard work and a very strong work ethic ..", in this quotation Paul is bragging that he is a hard working and ethical employee, which doess not sound professional."...earned a much, much higher hourly wage.", through these words, Paul gives personal information about his pay. He is not expected to do so in a cover letter.
The function of the commas in this sentance is to seperate the thoughts, one being "Isn't it fanciful notion that any adult could actually understand teenager's mind?" and "As our parents always said"
