Answer:
B). Attending communication workshops may help advance your career.
D). The director of customer service was unaware that accounting had automated billing.
Explanation:
Word-choice always play a vital role in conveying the intended meaning of a specific message or idea. The use of simple and familiar words help communicate with a wider audience sharply while intricate and complex words are employed to address an educated audience(of that particular domain).
As per the question, options B and D appropriately employ the plain English and standard words as they convey the desired idea precisely in a compact form. This is reflected by the <u>use of active voice and explicit yet specific message like 'attending communication workshops may help to advance your career' that explicitly states the intended idea</u> without fabricating or complicating it. <u>'The director of.....billing' also portrays the idea clearly and directly with the use of simple and usual words</u>. The other two options fail to present the idea in a simple yet familiar language.
Answer:
The purpose of these lines is to express love by likening a loved one to a nice day.
Explanation:
Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18" expresses admiration for a young person - many say it is a young man, but the sonnet itself does not make it clear who the speaker is addressing. The speaker compares this "fair youth" to a summer's day, but this person is more temperate, more lovely. While summer can be filled with extremes - sun shining too hot or too dim; rough winds -, the addressed person is more pleasant. While summer does not last long, this person's beauty shall last forever, immortalized in this sonnet, read about by people in years and years to come. The purpose of the sonnet is to express love and admiration for this person; the comparison with the summer's day is a tool that serves that purpose.
