Which of the following sentences contains formal language suitable for academic writing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer as it uses formal language commonly found in academic writing. It maintains an objective tone by employing professional terminology and structured language. Choices A, B, and D contain informal elements such as personal beliefs ('I believe' in A), casual terms ('guys' in B), and contractions ('don't' in D), making them unsuitable for academic writing.

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following parts of speech describes the word 'incredibly' as used in the sentence: 'The pumpkin crop was incredibly small this year because of excessive rain in the spring and heat in the summer'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the sentence provided, 'incredibly' is used to modify the adjective 'small,' indicating the degree of smallness. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this context, 'incredibly' functions as an adverb by providing more information on the extent of the adjective 'small.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'adverb.' Adverbs answer questions like 'how,' 'when,' 'where,' 'why,' or 'to what extent' and can modify adjectives to provide more detail or context. In this case, 'incredibly' modifies 'small,' demonstrating the degree of smallness, making it an adverb in this sentence.
