Answer:

You should avoid D. Unpleasant remarks about a teacher.

Explanation:

In a graduation speech, you would mainly want to speak about accomplisments and good things about the school year. Unpleasant remarks about a teacher don't really fit into the "good things" category. Yes, it might be funny to the other students, but not everyone would like it if someone said that during a graduation speech.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A. a strictly formal, argumentative tone

D. unpleasant remarks about a teacher

E. simple sentence constructions

Step-by-step explanation:

You definitely want to avoid D because you could absolutely get in trouble with them.

You completely want to avoid A because those who are listening to you will become bored and when speaking, this isn't a lecture/ debate contest, it's graduating speech. You're freaking graduating and you shouldn't argue about that.

For E, I don't know what to say to that, but just... avoid it.
