Read the quotation from "Song of Myself."
STatiana [176]

Answer:

B). He wants to communicate directly with readers.

Explanation:

'Song of Myself' by Walt Whitman explores the theme of individuality and democracy. Whitman employs a 'democratic' fusion of elevated and homely language to convey his message more effectively. His language experiment of combining high and low styles together signaled the idea of transcendentalism.

As per the question, Whitman employs a simple phrase like 'Who I am or What I mean?" to 'communicate with the readers directly.' <u><em>The central idea of the poem celebrates the entire humankind and their individual selves and thus, the use of a blended language including simple and elevated helped him convey his idea effectively</em></u>. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

Which of the following is correct regarding use of formal English?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

B. In formal English, we use words to say precisely what we mean.

Explanation:

Depending on the situation, we may use formal or informal language. In situations revolving around a serious matter or involving people we are not familiar with, we will use formal language. When we are more relaxed and conversing with people we know on a more personal level, we will use informal language.

Formal language is more used in writing, while informal language is more used in speaking. Contractions and abbreviations are characteristics of informal language and should not be used in formal documents. As a resume is a formal document, the language it's written in should be formal. When using formal language, we usually want to get to the point as soon as possible and use words to precisely say what we mean.
