Question

Here's what I think about dogs. To begin with, there are hundreds of

breeds of dogs available to pet owners. They all have the potential to
make great pets, but not every breed is right for every person. For
example, Veterinarian's Weekly categorizes a Jack Russell terrier as a
high-energy breed. Therefore, it would be best suited to a very active
family with a large yard and a walkable neighborhood. In addition to
energy level, pet owners should consider the size of their dog.
How could this excerpt from an essay best be revised to clarify meaning and
enhance style?
A. Use evidence that supports the topic sentence more clearly.
B. Use transitions to clarify the flow of ideas.
C. Maintain a formal style.
O
D. Clarify the topic and purpose in the topic sentence.

Answer 1

C, Maintain a formal style.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first sentence makes the reader believe they will be reading about someone's opinion because it is in the 1st-person and it directly states that this is the narrator's thoughts, in a casual way. The text immediately shifts into a 3rd-person writing style, using evidence and commentary on such evidence. The casual tone degrades the value of the following text because the reader views the following text as a personal belief rather than advice or information. A formal style will elevate this text to the next level, separate the narrator from the topic, and allow the text to convey its meaning through information and analysis, rather than someone's opinion.

Answer 2

I would say D

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the essay is all over the place.
