The correct answer is: D) The author carefully avoids using words that are too high level.

In few words, diction is a writer's choice of words. In this way the author defines his/her style of speaking or writing. By choosing the correct words, the reader can be persuaded or an effect can be made upon him. In this case, the text seems addressed to an unspecialized audience, if he uses high level words, the probabilities they undestand the main point decrease. A good writer knows wich words to choose depending the objective.

Some things that are going through my mind if I let it wander is food. I am also think about the homework that I need to do. I am also thinking about what I am going to do on the weekend. I am also thinking about how I am tired and that I want to go to bed.

Fill in the blank with some/any/no/much/many/a lot of I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

Fantom [35]

Answer and Explanation:

If you are having a hard time figuring out which word goes into the black, try plugging all the words in to see if it makes sense.

I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

I didn't sleep some hours last night.

- This doesn't sound right; Some can be used for plural nouns, but because of the way this sentence is structured, it can't be applied.

I didn't sleep any hours last night.

- Another way of saying any (in this case) is at all, which would mean the sentence needs to be restructured, which we can't do.

I didn't sleep no hours last night .

- This isn't correct, because it contains a double negative, which is when two negative words are used in the same clause (group of words containing a verb) to explain a single negative idea.

I didn't sleep much hours last night.

- Due to hours being a countable plural noun, we can't use much, therefore this is incorrect.

I didn't sleep many hours last night.

- This is correct! If you wanted to replace an amount of hours slept (or not slept), you can use many to show you slept for x amount of time without being specific.
