Before/after shown + tone shift visible + word-choice shift + audience-appropriate = 4; partial shift = 3; minimal change = 2; no awareness = 1
Hints
- Administrator: more formal, more evidence-heavy, less pathos.
- Peer: more direct, more pathos, similar logos.
Misconceptions to watch
- Treats audience shift as cosmetic (just change a few words).
- Loses claim strength when shifting to formal.
