Question 196 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Read the passage."Can’t do it. Won’t do it. No, I refuse to do it.” These were the thoughts that went through Spencer’s mind as he trudged out to the dumpster for the tenth time that afternoon. Those fools thought they could push him around just because he was the newest person on the job. No one else had to walk down the back stairs into the cold, wet afternoon to take out the trash 10 times in one day! "Well, joke’s on them,” he thought as he tossed the bag of trash into the dumpster and kept on walking toward the bus stop instead of heading back in to finish his shift.

Answer
A
vivid language
B
sentence variety
C
informal language
D
incorrect punctuation

Explanation

The passage uses informal language to show Spencer’s frustrated, conversational thoughts. Phrases such as “Those fools” and “joke’s on them” sound casual rather than formal. The punctuation and sentence lengths vary, but the clearest style feature is informal language.
