Question 1 • SC-English 3 Honors

Which choice describes the type of language that should be used in a formal discussion?

Answer
A
casual words and phrases common in everyday conversation
B
facts supported by evidence without any opinion or bias
C
syntax and diction that are appropriate to the topic and audience
D
slang and idioms that show knowledge of modern culture

Explanation

In a formal discussion, language should fit the subject and the people listening. Appropriate syntax and diction means choosing clear, respectful wording and sentence structures suited to the topic and audience. Casual phrasing and slang are usually too informal, while using evidence without bias describes the content of an argument rather than the type of language.
