PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME

Read this excerpt from Al Gore's Nobel Prize acceptance speech:

The penalties for ignoring this challenge are immense and growing, and at some near point would be unsustainable and unrecoverable.

Which statement best describes how word choice helps establish style in the excerpt?
A. The use of words such as "immense" and "growing" helps establish a peaceful style.
B. The use of words such as "unsustainable" and "unrecoverable" helps establish a formal style.
C. The use of words such as "penalties" and "ignoring" helps establish an angry style.
D. The use of words such as "some" and "point" helps establish a casual style

Respuesta :

The use of words such as "unsustainable" and "unrecoverable" helps establish a formal style. The answer is B

B. The use of words such as "unsustainable" and "unrecoverable" helps establish a formal style.

Al Gore's Nobel Prize acceptance speech is written in a formal style as it should be given the specific occasion of the speech. An informal speech would be given at a wedding, birthday party or some other more personal gathering. Nobel Prize acceptance speeches are often a way for the recipient of the Nobel Prize to continue to fight for the cause and work that earned him/her the Nobel Prize.

Option A is also wrong because the speech is not peaceful. It is a call to action. Option C is wrong because even though the speech should not be considered peaceful, it is also not angry. Option D is simply incorrect because a Nobel Prize acceptance speech should not be casual.
