Read the excerpt from "Politics and the English
Language" by George Orwell.
Which best describes George Orwell's purpose and the
way he achieves it in this excerpt?
To begin with, it has nothing to do with archaism, with
the salvaging of obsolete words and turns of speech, or
with the setting up of a "standard-English" which must
never be departed from. On the contrary, it is especially
concerned with the scrapping of every word or idiom
which has outworn its usefulness. It has nothing to do
with correct grammar and syntax, which are of no
importance so long as one makes one's meaning clear,
or with the avoidance of Americanisms, or with having
what is called a "good prose style." On the other hand it
is not concerned with fake simplicity and the attempt to
make written English colloquial.
Orwell's purpose is to persuade readers to use
simple language in political writing. He achieves this
by arguing that grammar is important.
