Question

Which sentence might be used to depict the voice of a young character?

Answer 1

Answer:

We ran to the cars and jumped in because we hated school.

Explanation:

Considering the narrative voice, it is easy to assume that young people will not have any need to further elaborate on what or how they may like to say things. For them, they will just say things straightforward and without any other 'unnecessary' figurative languages.

With that in mind, the use of the expressions such as "eager", "as a herd", "excitement", "dreaded", "long day of testing" etc will all be useless for a young child.

He would rather just get to the point and say things , even if bluntly. So, the sentence that is most likely to depict the voice of a young character is the third option.

Answer 2

Young people usually express themselves in a vague and short way. Morever, young people make use of informal vocabulary when they speak; words like "eager", and expressions like "bursting with excitement" or "a long day of testing" are ways of speaking in a formal way that are not common among young people. Therefore, option C: We ran ro the cars and jumped in because we hated school might be used to depict the voice of a young character because it is shorter and informal.
