When writing an essay, a general rule of thumb is to use what type of tone and voice?

Serious and objective
Objective and passionate
Passionate and serious
Serious and passionate

The correct answer is: Serious and objective

A general rule of thumb when writing an essay is to use a serious and objective tone and voice. This means that you should avoid using overly emotional or biased language and instead focus on presenting factual information in a calm and neutral manner. Option B, which suggests using an objective and passionate tone, would contradict itself as being objective means to remain unemotional and unbiased. Option C, which suggests using a passionate and serious tone, could come across as overly emotional and lacking in objectivity. Option D, which suggests using a serious and passionate tone, could also come across as too emotional and lacking in objectivity. Therefore, A is the most appropriate and effective tone and voice to use when writing an essay.
