The author uses a formal academic tone to call attention to "the many nuances of black aesthetics." Which selection from the article BEST reflects that tone? A In my 6-year-old mind, being a superhero was life. At every free moment, I draped towels across my back to form capes and created masks out of colorful construction paper. B I can vividly recall breaking vases, windows, and other treasured household items that resulted in many non-rod-sparing sessions and privilege revocations. C I began to resent superhero films, although I told myself I was aging out. The resentment lasted until I came across the trailer for the Ryan Coogler-directed "Black Panther." D The movie has already started to transcend the silver screen by sparking discourse around the sovereignty and ingenuity of blackness.

A).  In my 6-year-old mind, being a superhero was life. At every free moment, I draped towels across my back to form capes and created masks out of colorful construction paper.

Explanation:

The Tone is described as the approach or attitude adopted by the author towards a specific subject matter which allows the audience to have a perspective to view the text. It also assists the author to create the desired mood and elicit the intended response or feeling from the audience.

In the given article, the first option('In my...paper') displays the use of a formal tone to call the readers' attention towards the 'various nuances of black aesthetics.' The different shades of the black theory of art are clearly reflected through the descriptions like 'forming capes by draping the towel to back', 'creating masks using different colorful papers.' Thus, option A is the correct answer.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
