This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Complete the sentence with an appropriate intensive pronouns.

Diana found the story difficult to believe______________.

A. she

B. itself

C. herself

Answer:

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.

Explanation:

Intensive pronouns are used to emphasize the nouns they refer to. We need to be careful because intensive pronouns and reflexive pronouns are actually the same - myself, yourself, himself, etc. It is the use in context that differs.

In the sentence we are supposed to complete, we need to choose the appropriate intensive pronoun among the options. Since "she" is a subject pronoun, we can already eliminate it. If we use "itself", we will be emphasizing "story". However, the person who has difficulty believing the story is Diana. She is the one who should be emphasized. Therefore, we can eliminate "itself" and safely choose "herself".

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.

Answer:

The statements that indicate an informal tone that is inappropriate for an academic paper are:

I can't believe that people think that this writer's talented.

Explanation:

Academic papers demand a more formal tone that confers more objectivity to them. They avoid using the first person, expressing subjective opinions, and using an overall informal, colloquial language. The purpose is to present information via an impersonal tone. Among the sentences we were provided for analysis, there are three that present a personal opinion of the speaker in quite a colloquial manner, using everyday language to convey a subjective perspective:

Answer:

C. Simile

Explanation:

The correct answer is simile.

Simile is a figure of speech that uses "as" and "like" to compare two things. It is used in comparing one thing with another thing that is of a different kind.

This tries to compare "when friends can't be found" to "a bridge over troubled water". Simile differs from metaphor because it compares two things directly by highlighting the similarities between those two things using "like" or "as". Metaphors actually create an implicit comparison.
