Which statement is true of this excerpt from "totally like whatever, you know? " "have they been, like, chopped down with the rest of the rain forest? or do we have, like, nothing to say? has society become so, like, totally . . i mean absolutely . . you know? that we've just gotten to the point where it's just, like . . whatever! " what is the answer

D The  syntax used in these lines  opposes the argument of the speaker

Explanation:

In this excerpt from "Totally like whatever, you know?" Taylor Mali uses a syntax that opposes the argument of the speaker to bring about the force of everyday argumentation. The  elements that produce strong argumentation are empathized:

-Speak with authority,  "or do we have like nothing to say'"

-Avoid a questioning tone  "Have they been,like, chopped down with the rest of the rain forest?

-Be personally invested  "I mean absolutedly... you know?"

-Do not pretend to be high -brow  "That we've just gotten to the point where it's just, like . . .

whatever!"

The force of everyday argumentation relies on the style which opposes the content in that a serious problem is delivered in an informal syntax.
