Which statement about essay writers is true? A. They make careful, deliberate choices in diction and structure. B. They write fr
om the heart, allowing style to form itself as the words flow. C. They always write informally, as if addressing a friend in casual conversation. D. They craft an imaginary world of plot, character, theme, and symbolism.
A, because a good informational essay will look professional. It is not C, because that would be more of a letter to a good friend. It is not D, unless you're writing a story.
The sentence B contains an error. It should be: The walls or the ceiling is going to be painted beige. The rule is that when there is an "or" in the sentence, the verb is directed by the noun closer to it.
