Answer: B. one similar to the style of the application.

Step-by-step explanation:

The traditional writing style used in job or college applications has been proven ineffective. It lacks the capacity to hold the readers' attention. Using a creative writing style to invite the reader to keep reading in a professional, yet colloquial tone, close to the style of the application, can provide admissions officers or potential employers a better insight into their applicants.

The writing style that should be used in filling out a job or college application is formal and personal because it is an application. The correct answer would be option A. It should be formal because it will undergo assessment and personal or information information is often misinterpreted.
