PLZ HELP OUT!!

Shiree writes for the local teen magazine. Read the following excerpt from her essay on eliminating stress.

Whenever you feel stressed, just try to tune out the world. Do whatever helps you forget about your problems. One of the things that helps most kids is music. Play music? Pull out your guitar and jam alone. Music can help you relax and chill. Can't play much? You can still sing your heart out. You don't have to be Justin Bieber. Remember that a person cannot singlehandedly and simultaneously fix every problem in his or her life at once. Just put your favorite artist on replay till you feel better. Sometimes, you can just call up your best friend and spend a few hours watching movies in your pj's. Take a long walk; that'll clear your mind up! You could always talk to your dad or mom—you know they'll listen. For some people, hitting the gym is the best solution. Try reading a book. You will get into a whole different world!

Which sentence is inconsistent with the informal tone of the passage?
A.
You could always talk to your dad or mom—you know they'll listen.
B.
Sometimes, you can just call up your best friend and spend a few hours watching movies in your pj's.

Just put your favorite artist on replay till you feel better.

Remember that a person cannot singlehandedly fix every problem in his or her life at once.
