Read the passage.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B. Its language is sophisticated and formal.

Explanation:

I know this because i took the test, so i can assure you its correct. But just as an explanation, It is an informational website so it needs to be formal in order to be taken more seriously. More context clues are that it does not include first person point of view, slang, sentence fragments, or incorrect grammar.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A.

The language in this passage is informal and therefore appropriate for use on a website. A website is a place visited by people from various walks of lives and ages, with different level of intelligence and education. The language on an informational website has to be understood by all of them.

Formal language is used for writing for academic or professional purposes and should not be used here. Too much of a technical language may cause some problems with understanding the content and it can actually be a turn off for many people. An informational website can not use too much of humorous language either as its purpose is to provide information and not to entertain.

Informal language is easy to understand and spontaneous and its tone feels personal. This is the best type of language to use here as it is friendly, not too informative and the passage is written in a relaxed yet educational manner.
