Define style (how something is written) versus tone (the writer’s attitude), with quick cues to recognize each in SAT-style edits.

Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ — Style vs. Tone
Fast practice distinguishing style from tone and choosing revisions that preserve the intended attitude.

Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ — Audience & Purpose
