Question

1. what elements can help you identify the tone of an informational article?

○ the way the article is titled and the author’s background
○ the level of knowledge and expertise shown by the author
○ the types of details used and word choices that affect style
○ the length of the article and how it is organized

Explanation:

To identify the tone of an informational article, analyzing the types of details (e.g., formal vs. informal details) and word choices (e.g., technical vs. conversational language) is key. Word choices and detail types directly shape the tone (e.g., objective, persuasive, informal). The article’s title/author background, knowledge level shown, or length/organization are less direct indicators of tone compared to stylistic elements like word choice and detail type.

Answer:

the types of details used and word choices that affect style (the second option from the left, with the text "the types of details used and word choices that affect style")
