Researching and Writing about a Mythical Character
Question 6 • FL-1001310-English 1 A
Elise needs to revise her essay’s conclusion to use a more formal tone.Hera is a Greek goddess you should get to know. I like her because she’s strong, smart, and beautiful.
Answer
A
Hera isn’t just an ordinary Greek goddess. She’s powerful because she’s beautiful, smart, and really strong.
B
Readers should become familiar with the Greek goddess, Hera. Her strength, wisdom, and beauty set her apart from other Olympians.
C
I think Hera is the greatest of the Greek goddesses. She’s not just beautiful, she’s also smart and strong.
D
Everyone who reads about Hera knows that she is a beauty. She also has strength and wisdom to boot!
Explanation
A formal conclusion should avoid conversational phrases such as “you should get to know,” “I like her,” and “really strong.” Choice B uses more formal wording: “become familiar” instead of “get to know,” and “strength” and “wisdom” instead of “strong” and “smart.” It also keeps the focus on Hera’s qualities without using casual or exaggerated language.
