which word or phrase most clearly makes the tone inappropriate for a job application?
a. i’m
b. this gig
c. cold calling
d. face-to-face

Explanation:

In a job application, a formal and professional tone is expected. The phrase "this gig" is informal slang for a job or task. "I'm" is a common contraction, "cold calling" is a professional term for a job - related activity, and "face - to - face" is a standard phrase. So "this gig" is the phrase that makes the tone inappropriate.

Answer:

B. This gig
