Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.34 Author's Style and Voice in Informational Texts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A policy memo draft states: “This proposal will definitely fix homelessness in our city within six months.”

Which change best improves credibility through tone?

AReplace “definitely” with “is intended to” and add measurable goals and limits.

BAdd more exclamation points

CAdd insults about other cities

DRemove the timeframe and replace it with “someday”

Solution & Explanation:Credible informational tone avoids absolute certainty. Hedging plus specific, measurable aims improves trust and clarity.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A school newsletter draft says: “Our students absolutely crushed the state tests, proving our new curriculum is the best! Anyone who doubted us can finally stop complaining.”

Which revision would best make the tone appropriate for an informational school newsletter while keeping the main idea?

A“Our students destroyed the tests, and critics should be embarrassed.”

B“Our school is perfect, and no changes are needed ever.”

C“Our students showed strong growth on the state tests, and early results suggest the new curriculum is helping.”

D“Tests are pointless, and we don’t care about results.”

Solution & Explanation:The best revision removes slang and hostility, uses measured language (“showed,” “suggest”), and keeps the informational purpose.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A science feature states: “‘Natural’ is a word that borrows trust. It implies safe, ancient, and wholesome--without offering proof. When an ad leans on ‘natural’ alone, it is asking you to feel certainty where none is provided.”

Which stylistic element most contributes to the author’s skeptical tone?

AThe list of positive-sounding adjectives

BThe phrase “borrows trust,” which implies the word gains credibility without earning it.

CThe word “proof” by itself

DThe comma after “safe”

Solution & Explanation:“Borrows trust” is a critical metaphor suggesting unearned authority, reinforcing skepticism about marketing language.
