Question

lina is reviewing her classmates essay. the claim is well - written, but the body paragraph says: \teachers who think early school is fine clearly have never had to wake up at 6 am. that idea is ridiculous!\ what feedback should lina give to improve the tone? ○ \add more personal feelings to show how unfair it is.\ ○
emove the evidence and just state your opinion clearly.\ ○ \soften the language and support your point with factual evidence.\ ○ \make it sound more emotional so readers feel your anger\

Explanation:

In academic writing, a balanced tone is important. The original statement is too harsh ("ridiculous") and lacks factual support. Softening the language makes it more objective, and adding factual evidence (like studies on sleep and academic performance for early - school start times) strengthens the argument.

• Adding more personal feelings ("Add more personal feelings to show how unfair it is") might make it more subjective rather than improving the tone in an academic sense.
• Removing evidence ("Remove the evidence and just state your opinion clearly") weakens the argument.
• Making it more emotional ("Make it sound more emotional so readers feel your anger") is not suitable for an academic or formal essay tone.

Answer:

"Soften the language and support your point with factual evidence."
