Question

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
A newspaper report differs from a school magazine report in that it is __________________.

• A. more formal
• B. less formal
• C. more informative
• D. less informative

Answer 1

The correct option is A more formal

The style and tone of a report depends upon the target audience. A report written in a school will differ from that written in a newspaper or a business organisation. A school student may not understand the complex language or words used in a newsppaer. Hence, the school report is written in simpler tone and language.

So, a newspaper report would be more formal than a school magazine report and option A is correct, B is wrong.

Options C and D: Newspaper reports deal with different subjects than school reports. The former deal with more serious issues, and the latter deal with events or incidents involving the school. Both are on different topics but both types of reports are detailed and informative in their own avenues.

Hence these options are not appropriate and C and D are wrong.
