which version of sentence 9 (reproduced below) best revises the sentence using academic voice?
i think this interaction highlights how the customs of one heritage can seem totally strange for someone from another heritage.

Explanation:

To determine the best revision using academic voice, we analyze the original sentence: it uses first - person ("I think"), informal word "totally", and a conversational tone. Academic voice requires third - person, formal diction, and minimized personal voice. So we need to eliminate first - person, replace informal words, and adopt an objective tone. For example, a revised sentence could be "This interaction highlights how the customs of one heritage can seem extremely strange for someone from another heritage" (removing "I think" and replacing "totally" with a more formal "extremely" while maintaining the third - person/objective perspective).

Answer:

(The specific revised sentence would follow the rules of academic voice: no first - person, formal diction, objective tone. For example) "This interaction highlights how the customs of one heritage can seem extremely strange for someone from another heritage"
