Read the selection. Then, answer the questions that follow. I’ve come to terms with my dreaminess, my absent-mindedness—well, ok

ay, my ditziness! Why do I characterize myself this way? A few examples might make this description very clear. They might include such mild eccentricities as mismatched socks and paint smudges on jeans and in hair. Or I could cite more embarrassing moments, perhaps having to do with personal hygiene or misunderstandings. But why bother with the descriptions; you’ve probably already grasped the idea! Which of these phrases best describes the author’s voice? A. somber and weighty B. driven and intense C. neutral and lifeless D. humorous and informal

I believe the correct answer is D. humorous and informal.
You can see in the excerpt that the narrator is talking about him/herself in a humorous manner by mentioning his/her eccentricities such as 'mismatched socks' etc. The tone is very light and funny, so A, B, and C would be incorrect answers.

Gnesinka [82]
She should get an overall idea of what she's planning for the day - but of course, don't have it set in stone because of all the unexpected tasks. Karen should leave space in between each thing on her schedule just so she can better prepare.
OR another thing she can do is plan hour by hour just so she doesn't have to keep rearranging her schedule! (:
I hope all is well, and you pass! good luck, rockstar! (:
