Question

How can we know when to trust our gut instinct and when to listen to reason? We all know of situations in which out gut instinct told us the right thing to do in the moment of crisis. We didn’t really “think through” our decision, we simply acted. Yet we also all know of situations where our gut instinct led us astray. The tension between thinking through things and yet not being paralyzed by listing pros and cons is___. Judging by the detail in the passage, which phrase would NOT match the tone

Answer 1

Answer:

B). is really really hard, yo.

Explanation:

The Tone is described as the approach or attitude adopted by the author towards a specific subject matter. It allows him/her to create the desired mood and offer a perspective to the readers to read or feel the text accordingly.

In the given paragraph, the author adopts a sincere and formal tone and the phrase 'is really really hard, yo' does not match the seriousness of the passage. This phrase is quite informal(as reflected by the repetition of 'really' and use of word 'yo') which is breaking the sincerity of the tone. The other options maintain the depth and formality of the approach adopted by the author. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
