Cite three specific features and examples of academic language from the passage

Answer 1

Social Trust.

Social trust is having consciousness in the uprightness of others or else having a stronger belief in a certain person. Social trust is a key aspect of every human relation. Marriages are basically built on the foundation of social trust. Definitely, the success and the durability of any marriage will be determined by the degree of social trust.

The use of quotation marks for example, “I tell university students that any course should be about who they are to marry”. It’s ironic when the author says that the students should take a course after another in marriage. Money is personified, given the ability to relate with people.
