Question 10 • English II

Which statement best uses formal language to present an issue to a school board in a formal email?

Answer
A
When traffic is not completely jammed, drivers zoom past the school entrance like wild people!
B
Three traffic accidents occurred at the entrance to Westville High School in the last month alone.
C
You really should have a cop direct traffic at the school’s entrance before someone gets hurt.
D
Perhaps you’ve already considered speed bumps, but I think it’s high time to look into them again.

Explanation

Choice B presents the issue with specific, factual information: three accidents occurred at the school entrance in one month. Its measured tone suits a formal email to a school board. Choice A uses exaggerated, informal wording, while C and D sound more demanding or conversational.
