Answer:

D. "It is for this reason that I wish to introduce today a proposal that has been before every Congress for the last 40 years."

Explanation:

The sentence from the options that exemplifies the use of formal language by the congresswoman is the last option, since it uses phrases like "It is for this reason" which in a less formal or more casual language should be expressed as "because of this", and in this sentece the congresswoman is trying to express the introduction of a proposal.

The answer is option D: "It is for this reason that I wish to introduce today a proposal that has been before every Congress for the last 40 years."

The statement best exemplifies the use of formal language because, to begin with, it is a complex sentence. In fact, it is a cleft sentence which begins with <em>it </em>to emphasize what comes next. Secondly, there is no ellipsis and vocabulary reflects the choice of longer words than in informal speech. Finally, the use of passive voice is typical of formal registers.

Read each sentence, and determine whether it contains parallel structures.
OLEGan [10]

The first and the third sentences contain parallel structures. Parallel structure, or parallelism, is the repetition of the same grammatical structure or form within a sentence, so it becomes more balanced, and, therefore, more readable and clear to understand.

In the first sentence, the parallel structure has been used in the comparison: "... would make war <em>rather than let</em> the nation survive and accept war<em> rather than let</em> it perish..."

In the third sentence the same grammatical form has been used too: "<em>all dreaded it </em>(1) <em>all sought to</em> avert <em>it </em>(2)."
