(D) replacing “cooler” with “more dramatic” in sentence 4

The word "cooler" is slang and creates an informal tone. By changing it to "more dramatic" the formal tone is continued all the way to the end of the passage. Option A is not a good option because contractions should not be used in formal writing. Option B will not change the formality of the paragraph. Option C is also not a good choice, changing "popular" to "top" would not change the tone to being more formal.

What is the best definition of an argumentative text?
Arlecino [84]

The best definition of an argumentative text is a text that supports a claim about a debatable topic using evidence as support.

<u>An argumentative text is a piece of writing in which the author presents a claim about a controversial topic and provides evidence to support it and, at the same time, to refute a counterclaim</u>. In other words, the author provides the reader with evidence such as statistics in order to present a counterargument as ineffective. Moreover, an argumentative essay is structured with an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

I would say internal roadblocks because self doubt is in the mind, and not practicing regularly seems to be channeling from the self doubt.
