Question

Can someone please help me with the 1st question:

In many ways, religion was becoming more formal and less personal during this time, which led to low church attendance.

Which two words best replace “formal” and “personal” in the selection above?
A) strict and individual
B) relaxed and special
C) individual and relaxed
D) special and strict

Answer 1

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Formal" can easily be replaced by "strict," and personal can be replaced by "individual."

The sentence would then read "In many ways, religion was becoming more strict and less individual during this time, which led to low church attendance. The meaning would remain the same.

Answer 2

A, sound of your replace the wording from A into the section it sounds much fluid and still make it understandable
