When writing for academia, you’ll always want to be as precise as possible. Thus, you’ll want to stay away from generalizations, vague words, as well as relative words (words that can mean different things to different people). For instance, in looking at the sentence, there are a couple of instances where things could more precise.

“I have read a bunch…” – How much is a bunch? Here, an exact number would be the best manner to be precise. For instance, “I have 23…”

“…informative texts…” – What type of informative texts? Here, by being precise, the credibility could be affected. Scholarly journals? Tabloids? Again, it is always best to be specific.

“…on the topic you just mentioned…” – Here, to be precise, it would be best to reiterate the topic. What topic is that?

Answer from: minecraft56

"a bunch of informative texts"

Explanation:

This sentence, although not incorrect, is imprecise. Although it wants to convey the idea that the speaker is knowledgeable about a certain topic, it nevertheless is too vague for us to get a proper idea of the extent of the speaker's knowledge. By describing what he has read as "a bunch of informative texts," the speaker does not properly informs us of the specific number of texts he has read. Nor does he provide information on what type of informative texts he refers to (books, peer-reviewed articles, essays, etc.). This information would improve the clarity and persuasiveness of the statement.

An inference that can be made is that the princess is bothered about the tiger door. although there are reasons for both this one has a better reason. the princess is not a monster and even if she didn't want to marry this man she wouldn't want him to die. the grudge of death is pretty heavy. unless she has done this before and feels no regret then she wouldn't want to be married to someone of low quality, if he is low quality.
