Question

PLEASE!!! HELP

Excerpt from: First Time Voter
Rebecca Sparling

Statement from the passage (paragraph 2):
Immediately after I turned eighteen, my parents encouraged me to register to vote.

Revised statement from the passage:
Immediately after I turned eighteen, my parents forced me to register to vote.

What effect does word choice have on the revised statement?
A) It is less personal.
B) It is more negative.
C) It is less informative.
D) It is more interesting.

Answer 1

The revised statement is more negative because of the word forced.

Answer 2

Answer: A - It is less personal.

Although the word force has a negative weight, the word choice on the revised statement from the passage indicates that it is less personal because it means that the person's opinion, will and choice are not involved in the process. Contrary to the original statement that she says 'my parents encouraged me to register to vote.'
