The speaker of Okita’s poem tries to present herself in ways that have little to do with her customs. Which is the best revision of this sentence using academic vocabulary?

The speaker of Okita's poem attempts to characterize herself in ways that have little to do with her heritage.

Explanation:

Depending on what the purpose of the text we're writing is, we will use different types of language/vocabulary.

Academic vocabulary is used in academic texts and dialogue. At school, you might encounter it in classroom lessons, books, assignments, and tests. Words that make it up are usually not used in informal conversation. For example, while talking with your friends, you would use the verb watch. Instead of it, when writing an assignment, you would use the verb observe.

The option that contains academic vocabulary is the fourth one: The speaker of Okita's poem attempts to characterize herself in ways that show little to do with her heritage.

The first two sentences contain very informal language (e.g. phrases to have a go, to have a crack). The language used in the third sentence is not as informal but is still relatively conversational.

The fourth sentence contains words such as to attempt, to characterize, and heritage, which can be considered to be parts of the academic vocabulary.

This is why the fourth sentence is the correct one.

that is literally a whole assignment and i'm not sure anyone in their right mind or even wrong mind is going to do an entire assignment for someone just for 100 points on a website. sorry to tell you like

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
