Drag each item to indicate if it describes a formal style or an informal style.(2 points)

Formal style Informal style

Answer 1

I don’t see the items to drag — could you paste the list (or a screenshot) of the descriptors you need sorted?

Meanwhile, here are common features you can use to decide whether each descriptor is formal or informal:

Formal style (typical descriptors)
- Uses full words (do not, cannot) — no contractions
- Uses third person and objective tone (one, the researcher, he/she)
- Uses precise, technical, or academic vocabulary
- Uses complete, complex sentences and correct grammar
- Avoids slang, idioms, and colloquialisms
- Uses polite, impersonal phrasing (It is recommended that…, Please note that…)
- Often uses passive voice in academic/technical contexts

Informal style (typical descriptors)
- Uses contractions (don’t, can’t, I’m)
- Uses first- or second-person (I, we, you)
- Uses everyday vocabulary and slang/colloquialisms
- Short, simple sentences and conversational tone
- Includes rhetorical questions, exclamations, and idiomatic expressions
- May use phrasal verbs (get up, put off), emojis, or casual punctuation

If you paste the items, I’ll sort each one into Formal or Informal for you.
