ASSIGNMENT NO: 01
YEAR : 2024
PREVIEW:
ANSWERS:
1a. Informal. The use of "Bra" (a slang term for "brother" or "friend") and "gonna" (a
colloquial contraction of "going to") makes this sentence informal.
1b. Formal. The use of "Ladies and gentlemen" and "this august occasion" indicates a
formal tone, suitable for a formal event or speech.
1c. Neutral. This sentence is fairly neutral, leaning slightly towards formal due to the
context of academic assignments, but it could be used in both formal and informal
settings.
