Answer:

d) to give a sense of importance to the occasion

Explanation:

Formal diction is rarely used to connect. Most of the times, formal diction is used to pass an idea of respect or professionalism. It can be less emotional, but it doesn't mean that it is. And it might not be the best way to express anger as well. The use of formal language, though, creates a serious tone to whatever you might be saying. Given the occasion, it is most likely the reason behind Lincoln's use of formal language.

Which excerpt from O’Connor’s “Good Country People” best reveals the irony of Joy’s name?
marshall27 [118]
This is an example of irony:
Nothing is perfect. This was one of Mrs. Hopewell's favorite sayings. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too.

From the excerpt above,  we see Mrs. Hopewell adding the name to the girl eventhough the girl feel that it's intrusive and she feel that she got to has a say about it. But despite that, Hopewell's favourite saying is other people have their opinions too.
