Which of these phrases uses the most formal diction? a. He took time and are when getting dressed.
b. His pride in his appearance was strong.
c. He cared about how he looked.
d. He was a snazzy dresser.

Formal diction uses sophisticated language, longer and more complex words, and proper grammar, conveying a sense of complexity and deeper nuances. The correct answer here is C. A is incorrect because it uses slang or trendy words. B is incorrect because it does not use complex words. D gets closer to a more formal approach but does not evoke the deeper nuances of his thought pattern. C is correct because the use of the words pride, appearance, and strong, give a more complex and sophisticated picture of his attitude regarding his appearance, and giving the reader a deeper perspective of the subject.

Explanation:

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to
