DRAG AND DROP QUESTION

1 min • 1 pt

When writing formally, one should avoid using: (a)  

Academic language
Contractions and phrasal verbs
Objective tone
Third-person pronouns

Answer explanation

Avoid contractions (e.g., didn't, won't, can't, they're, etc.); instead, write: did not, will not, cannot, they are, etc.

Trade phrasal verbs for academic words (e.g., use cancel instead of call off).
