Which sentence might be used to depict the voice of a young character?
LenaWriter [7]

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that can be used to depict the voice of a young character is the following one: We ran the cars and jumped in because we hated school.

I believe that this is the correct answer because of the word choices selected by the speaker. The verbs used are simple verbs of momevent (ran) or phrasal verbs (jumped in). Consequently, the tone is very informal, as opposed to the other sentences which make use of formal word choices adding a lot of description to the passage (eager to jump in our parents' cars, empty parking lot, bursting with excitement, dreaded school, glad to finally be leaving school).

The correct answer is C.

The image of fellow citizens rising up and drowning the enemy in a wave of "pride and knives" demonstrates that they will remain defiant. It also best develops the speaker's viewpoint that adversity only makes his compatriots stronger.
