Question

read the sentence.
you have to agree that paving over that muddy, gross area where we wait before school is a good idea
which revision makes the tone of the sentence appropriate for a formal e - mail?
○ please review our suggestion for paving over the muddy area where students wait before school
○ you know, you should consider paving over the area where we wait before school because its gross.
○ please note our awesome suggestion for paving over the gross area where we wait before school.
○ paving over that muddy area where students wait before school is obviously a smart plan.

Explanation:

To determine the appropriate revision for a formal e - mail, we need to consider the tone and language used. Formal e - mails should be polite, objective, and use professional language.

• The first option "Please review our suggestion for paving over the muddy area where students wait before school" uses polite and formal language. It presents the suggestion in a professional manner without using informal or subjective terms.
• The second option "You know, you should consider paving over the area where we wait before school because it's gross" uses informal language ("You know") and a subjective, informal reason ("because it's gross"), so it's not appropriate for a formal e - mail.
• The third option "Please note our awesome suggestion for paving over the gross area where we wait before school" uses the informal and subjective term "awesome" and the informal description "gross", which is not suitable for a formal tone.
• The fourth option "Paving over that muddy area where students wait before school is obviously a smart plan" uses the subjective and somewhat pushy term "obviously" and a rather informal way of presenting the idea, which is not in line with the formal e - mail tone.

Answer:

A. Please review our suggestion for paving over the muddy area where students wait before school
