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.

kogti [31]

Answer:

OD. The tank was developed illegally.

Explanation:

The outcome of any story depends on the circumstances that lead up to the crucial stages of the plot. And these outcomes mainly consists of the consequences or results of all the different directions or aspects of the plot.

In the given scenario of the two soldiers and their plan to try to steal the 'secretly developed' illegal high-tech tank, the <u>most important aspect of the story in determining the outcome is that the tank was illegally developed</u>. This is because, no matter who tried to steal it or what the purpose of the stealing was, the fact that it was developed illegally will eventually be the crucial aspect of how the outcome will be, considering neither the government nor anyone knows about it (except the two soldiers and the engineer and the ones on the base camp).

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
