Manage nuance, modality, and certainty: identities

English B HL language acquisition practice. This original stimulus is linked to the theme of identities and the context of a magazine article about students choosing clothes for a cultural celebration. A student is repairing a language gap in an HL response. What revision choice best protects meaning, register, cohesion, nuance, and accuracy for the task? Select the task focus, source clue, language choice, and communication judgement. Then answer in your own words: what should the student do next to strengthen this English B HL response?
