The speaker of Okita’s poem tries to present herself in ways that have little to do with her customs. Which is the best revision of this sentence using academic vocabulary?

The speaker of Okita's poem attempts to characterize herself in ways that have little to do with her heritage.

Explanation:

Depending on what the purpose of the text we're writing is, we will use different types of language/vocabulary.

Academic vocabulary is used in academic texts and dialogue. At school, you might encounter it in classroom lessons, books, assignments, and tests. Words that make it up are usually not used in informal conversation. For example, while talking with your friends, you would use the verb watch. Instead of it, when writing an assignment, you would use the verb observe.

The option that contains academic vocabulary is the fourth one: The speaker of Okita's poem attempts to characterize herself in ways that show little to do with her heritage.

The first two sentences contain very informal language (e.g. phrases to have a go, to have a crack). The language used in the third sentence is not as informal but is still relatively conversational.

The fourth sentence contains words such as to attempt, to characterize, and heritage, which can be considered to be parts of the academic vocabulary.

This is why the fourth sentence is the correct one.

the correct answer is:   [d]:

              →       " fond of fighting " .

hope this !

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
