Question

Of the given categories, which scale of language registers does the given example fall onto ?
eq. "Would you all please go upstairs right away?"

A.

Frozen

B.

Informal

C.

Intimate

D.

Formal

Correct option is D

The correct option is (d) Formal.

The sentence "Would you all please go upstairs right away?" demonstrates a polite and respectful tone, indicative of formal communication. Formal language is typically characterized by:

  1. Politeness.
  2. Use of complete sentences.
  3. Avoidance of slang or casual expressions.
    This tone is often used in professional, official, or socially respectful settings.

Characteristics of Formal Language:

  • Polite requests: Use of "Would you please."
  • Structured grammar: Complete and clear sentences.
  • Neutral tone: No use of slang or emotional language.

Example:
Formal: "Would you kindly wait here for a moment?"
Informal: "Hey, can you wait here for a sec?"

Meanings of other options:

  • Frozen (जमे हुए): Refers to language that is fixed and unchangeable, such as religious texts, oaths, or historic documents.
  • Informal (अनौपचारिक): Refers to casual, conversational language, often used among friends or peers, not applicable here.
  • Intimate (घनिष्ठ): Used for private or personal conversations between close individuals, not the case here.

Thus, the correct register is Formal (d).
