You are a public relations specialist for the local university. The board of regents has decided to raise tuition, and they have given you a statement to present to the student body. Regents' message: We, the board of regents, have decided to raise your tuition $200 per credit. We did this to fund the construction of a new science building on campus. We will implement this tuition increase immediately. The original statement, written in the active voice, may not be the best approach because it ___________. Select one: a. Directly links the board of regents with a negative action b. Sounds angry c. Mocks the audience d. Creates levity

The raise of tuition fee to $200 and implementing it immediately is a negative action from the perspective of students. This also seems an order by the boards, rather than justifying the students for the construction of a new science building on campus. However, if the board have proposed the students about the fees increase for the construction of new building or ask for their suggestions, this would be an appropriate action.
