When writing for academia, you’ll always want to be as precise as possible. Thus, you’ll want to stay away from generalizations, vague words, as well as relative words (words that can mean different things to different people). For instance, in looking at the sentence, there are a couple of instances where things could more precise.

“I have read a bunch…” – How much is a bunch? Here, an exact number would be the best manner to be precise. For instance, “I have 23…”

“…informative texts…” – What type of informative texts? Here, by being precise, the credibility could be affected. Scholarly journals? Tabloids? Again, it is always best to be specific.

“…on the topic you just mentioned…” – Here, to be precise, it would be best to reiterate the topic. What topic is that?

"a bunch of informative texts"

Explanation:

This sentence, although not incorrect, is imprecise. Although it wants to convey the idea that the speaker is knowledgeable about a certain topic, it nevertheless is too vague for us to get a proper idea of the extent of the speaker's knowledge. By describing what he has read as "a bunch of informative texts," the speaker does not properly informs us of the specific number of texts he has read. Nor does he provide information on what type of informative texts he refers to (books, peer-reviewed articles, essays, etc.). This information would improve the clarity and persuasiveness of the statement.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.

Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms. we parked the cars beyond the brickyard. the ovens and some deep holes had been equipped as dressing stations. there were three doctors that i knew. i talked with the major and learned that when it should start and our cars should be loaded we would drive them back along the screened road and up to the main road along the ridge where there would be a post and other cars to clear them. which best describes hemingway’s style of writing in the excerpt? straightforward and simple, while still relating a lot of information to the reader long-winded and offering far too much information to the reader overly complicated, making it difficult to interpret and understand the text effortless and uncomplicated, with little meaning for the reader to interpret
