The correct is c. The choice of transitive verbs conveys a more assertive tone, while the choice of intransitive verbs conveys a more passive tone.Transitivity is a key concept in stylistic analysis that helps reveal the relationship between participants and processes in a text. Transitive verbs typically involve an actor performing an action that directly affects an object, which creates a more dynamic and assertive tone. In contrast, intransitive verbs do not have a direct object and often describe states or actions that do not directly impact others, resulting in a more passive tone.For example:
1.
Transitive (assertive):
"The politician criticized the policy."
2.
Intransitive (passive):
"The policy failed."
The first sentence with a
transitive verb shows direct action and responsibility, while the second with
an intransitive verb presents a more detached, less assertive description of
the event.
