Writing Workshop: The New Deal

Question 1 • MS U.S. History - SS3307 B-IC

Which sentences in this paragraph should be revised for formal style? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The New Deal was a great success.
B
It provided relief for tons of people during a really bad time.
C
Moreover, the legacy of the New Deal is still felt and appreciated today.
D
Social Security helps people with disabilities and stuff.
E
And the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Explanation

B should be revised because “tons of people” and “a really bad time” are casual, imprecise phrases. D’s phrase “and stuff” is also informal and vague. E is an incomplete sentence: it names the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation but does not state what it did. A and C use wording that is appropriate for a formal paragraph.
