2.Essays, reports, and assignments should be written in informal English.
3.Everyday speech between people is usually formal.
4.Short stories, written by a character, can be written informally.
and tell the truth if it is right or not

Answer 1

4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. False. Most school work uses formal English, school is something official.

2. False. These need to be formal as well. They're official.

3. False. Everyday speech is not official. For example, i can say "Heya, what's up" to my friends but I can't do that if I need to use formal language.

4. True. Short stories need to be relatable and comprehensible to readers, and informal english makes it all better. You can't expect to use only formal English and actually have a story which is interesting to read. Imagine someone wrote a story which was like "My apologies but please state your business upon your arrival" instead of "I'm sorry, but please let me know if I could help you when you get here". Nope. Short stories are meant for reader entertainment, and informal English helps with that.
