Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:
"A. Change "razor thin" to "extremely tiny." B. Change "voted out of office" to "removed from their current positions." C. Change "don't have the money" to "do not make enough profit." D. Change "definitely not the way to go" to "a completely worthless idea."
Answer:
C. Change "don't have the money" to "do not make enough profit."
Explanation:
The expression "has no money" does not provide accurate and consistent information with a formal language text, when that text refers to the economic conditions of an establishment. "Not having money" is not an economic term that fits the context of the text, which should only use economic terms to maintain the formal tone of the writing.
In this case, the best way to replace this expression and provide a more formal tone would be through the expression "do not make enough profit", which justifies the statement given by the author and maintains the formal tone of the writing.

They then spend the whole day drinking and partying with a group of friends. The author includes these details to show that Myrtle has a sense of ownership when it comes to Tom and his money. She wants comfort and luxury, so she uses her lover's money to obtain them.</u>
The language convention that the author used to separate the declarative sentence from the disruptive phrase in this excerpt are em dashes.
The disruptive phrase is everything separated from the rest of the sentence by these dashes - "so called because they used to, like, declare things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not."
