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.

can you guys give me some studying tips cause i've trying to study for like 2 hours and all i got is nothing
riadik2000 [5.3K]
I guess that all you have to do is focus, don't procrastinate. Shut off anything that might distract you, like put away your phone. Don't even listen to music, because sometimes that just breaks concentration. Considering how you've been trying to study for the past 2 hours, try taking a break. And continue to take short breaks so you don't get too tired! 

I hope this helped haha! I've had far too much experience with the same issue.
