Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Formal writing relies on clear facts rather than long words (which may not always be appropriate), personal views (which are more for informal or opinion - pieces), or a casual tone.
  2. Expert qualifications give a source authority. Text length, writing style, and publication date do not inherently make a source authoritative.
  3. Signal phrases help blend source information smoothly into your writing, while long summaries, extended quotations, and direct copying may stand out too much.

Answer:

  1. c. Clear facts
  2. d. Expert qualifications
  3. d. Signal phrases
