The correct answer is B. In order to meet the demands of the growing elderly population here in Metropolis, the city council must set aside more funding for senior housing. It is unfair to ignore a large segment of our community.

Explanation:

The term academic style refers to the election of words, tone, language, and level of formality that is appropriate for academic papers such as essays or articles. This style is mainly formal which means it avoids the use of contractions and colloquial words; has an impersonal tone that means it does not use the pronouns "I" or "we" or words that express a personal judgment and used mainly sophisticated or technical words to refer to the subject the text is about.

In the case of the sentence the excerpt presented in the question the words "for an old folks' home" and "It's super uncool to ignore a big part of our community" are too informal and also, rely on personal judgements which means they don't have an academic style and because of this, these sections of the text need to be revised. The best way for doing this is to replace them with more formal, sophisticated words that express an idea from an objective point of view which is reflected in option B. "the city council must set aside more funding for senior housing. It is unfair to ignore a large segment of our community". Thus, the option that best maintains an academic style in all the text is option B.

As we rode in the bus in the weird phosphorescent void of the Lincoln Tunnel we leaned on each other with fingers waving and yelled and talked excitedly, and I was beginning to get the bug like Dean. He was simply a youth tremendously excited with life, and though he was a con-man, he was only conning because he wanted so much to live and to get involved with people who would otherwise pay no attention to him. What does this excerpt demonstrate <span>about the culture of the beat generation? I would say the answer is"Beat artists most desired direct and varied life experiences" based on the behaviour of the beat artist mentioned above.</span>
