According to mario pei, slang is common to english as well as to foreign languages (80). many words that were once considered slang are now words of full, legitimate standing in our language. some of these words are strenuous, spurious, clumsy, and bogus. even shakespeare introduced into current usage such slang terms of his day as hubbub, fireworks, fretful, (to) bump, and (to) dwindle. pei estimates that about 90 per cent of all slang words eventually become permanent (johns 12).

b. he is using formal language.
c. he is using many negative connotations.
d. he is using inconsistent language.

B. He is using formal language.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the speaker is talking about how "many words that were once considered slang are now words of full, legitimate standing in our language". This has led to many of the common everyday words becoming legitimate words of their own, even used in many formal writings and even used by Shakespeare. The narrator also states that he (Shakespeare) even "introduced" some slang words such as "hubbub, fireworks, fretful, (to) bump, and (to) dwindle". And considering the text, the form of writing cites sources, making it a formal one. The author doesn't use words that are used loosely, thus eliminating informal language.

Again, there are no negative words that suggest any negative connotation, and the flow of the passage is consistent, thus leaving us with just the second option.

Thus, the author used formal language in the text.

not sure but i think it’s the snug nest

israel is a small country in the middle east about the size of the state of new jersey. the country has a diverse climate with snowy mountains in the north and the hot desert in the south. jordan, syria, and the palestinian authority all border israel to the east. lebanon serves as the northern border and egypt borders in the south.about two-thirds of the population was born in israel. all other israelis come from over 100 different countries. most israeli jews live a lifestyle similar to western europeans and north americans.israel's population is about 75 percent jewish; most of the rest is arab. the israeli-occupied palestinian territories have some 3.5 million inhabitants—about 11 percent jewish, 89 percent palestinian.because of israel's variety of terrain and climate, the country has a large variety of animals. boars roam the damp oak woodlands of the golan heights. caspian turtles live in the marshlands along the coast. and hyenas are prevalent in the negev desert region in the southern israel.israel is the only fully democratic country in the middle east. elections are held for seats in the knesset or parliament every four years. if a party wins 2 percent of the votes, the party gets one or more seats in parliament. no one party has control so they have to work together. the leader of the largest party becomes prime minister.the story of modern israel begins more than 3,500 years ago. most israelis are jews, who are said to be descended from the biblical figure abraham, through his son isaac.
