The correct answer is 3. Ralph was a rational boy

Explanation:

An academic essay is a paper in which the author tries to persuade the reader about something by providing evidence; also, academic essays should address the reader in a formal tone and voice, this means the author avoids using contractions, colloquial words such as slangs, phrasal verbs and first-person pronouns, also formal tone and voice in essays imply using third person pronouns, connecting ideas by formal linking verbs and choosing the appropriate vocabulary that means avoiding informal words or words that express a judgement from the author of the essay and instead choosing a more formal word with the same meaning, in this way the author can express his voice (personal features of writing), but communicate ideas in a formal way. Considering this "Ralph was a rational boy" show a formal tone and voice because it describes Ralph but avoid providing a personal judgment such as good or gnarly, also, the word "rational" is more formal than intelligent or similar more informal words.

Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch. Alice would have a fit if the boots made it
AlladinOne [14]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch. Alice would have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off his dusty overalls and threw them into a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him every morning. On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was instructed. He would eat dinner with her after he was “presentable,” as Alice had often said.

1. What type of job does Paul do?

doctor

teacher

construction

store clerk

2. Describe Alice

3. What relationship do Paul and Alice have?

Answer:

  1. Construction worker
  2. A very tidy person.
  3. Husband and wife.

Explanation:

  1. Construction worker, or any profession that requires getting muddy and wear overalls, such as farmer, ditch digger, or miner.
  2. Alice seems to be someone who insists on having everything clean and tidy, to the point of imposing strict cleaning rules when Paul arrives from work.
  3. Paul and Alice seem to live together, so they most likely are husband and wife, or maybe mother and son.
