Read the passage.
the golden retriever is the favorite choice of many american dog lovers. the retriever, with its lively, friendly manner, is appropriate for families with children. it has no objection to roughhousing and loves to be taken for long runs out in the open. although its personality and appearance make it an attractive choice for a pet, remember that this breed requires plenty of space and exercise. shedding can be a problem, too, but daily brushing can reduce the amount of golden hair on furniture and rugs.

what makes this passage appropriate for an informational website about dogs?

a. its language is informal.

b. its language is sophisticated and formal.

c. its language is technical and scientific.

d. its language is humorous.

The correct answer is A.

The language in this passage is informal and therefore appropriate for use on a website. A website is a place visited by people from various walks of lives and ages, with different level of intelligence and education. The language on an informational website has to be understood by all of them.

Formal language is used for writing for academic or professional purposes and should not be used here. Too much of a technical language may cause some problems with understanding the content and it can actually be a turn off for many people. An informational website can not use too much of humorous language either as its purpose is to provide information and not to entertain.

Informal language is easy to understand and spontaneous and its tone feels personal. This is the best type of language to use here as it is friendly, not too informative and the passage is written in a relaxed yet educational manner.
