english 10 ao / comparing expression

1. how can you tell if a paper follows the standards of academic discourse?

the writer mentions several professors or universities in the paper’s introduction.
the writer includes a brief, funny story about a personal experience with the topic.
the writer includes many authors’ and experts’ quotes related to the topic.
the writer presents and develops an argument using relatively formal language.

Explanation:

To determine if a paper follows academic discourse standards, we analyze each option:

• Mentioning professors/universities in the intro is not a core standard.
• Personal anecdotes (funny story) are informal and not typical in academic discourse.
• Including many quotes alone isn’t sufficient (needs proper integration and argumentation).
• Presenting and developing an argument with formal language aligns with academic discourse’s focus on structured, formal, evidence - based argumentation.

Answer:

The writer presents and develops an argument using relatively formal language.
