which of the following sentences maintains an academic voice? this years open house had a really good turnout. this proves you shouldnt use a cell during class. i think the schools dress code is appropriate. adding more self - checkout stations will reduce the consumers time spent in a store.

Explanation:

Academic voice is objective, formal, and evidence - based. The first three sentences use informal language ("really good", "this proves", "I think") or lack evidence. The last sentence presents a claim that could be supported by data and is more formal.

Answer:

Adding more self - checkout stations will reduce the consumer’s time spent in a store.
