Which writing style should be used in filling out a job or college application? a. formal and impersonal because it’s an application. b. one similar to the style of the application

B. one similar to the style of the application.

Explanation:

The traditional writing style used in job or college applications has been proven ineffective. It lacks the capacity to hold the readers' attention. Using a creative writing style to invite the reader to keep reading in a professional, yet colloquial tone, close to the style of the application, can provide admissions officers or potential employers a better insight into their applicants.

to eliminate ambiguous remote or broad reference it is necessary to focus on anaphoric reference. by definition "anaphoric reference means that a word in a text refers back to other ideas in the text for its meaning." the references should be clear and leave no room for ambiguity.

in the first case the pronoun it probably refers to the car but it has not been mentioned before so we should replace it for the car. in doing so the statement becomes clear.

in sentence number   two   the pronoun he refers to charles dickens the author. yet, the first half of the sentence is about the book a tale of two cities. to repair this it would be better to rephrase the first half : after i read   a tale of two cities by dickens, he so as to remove the remote reference.
