Answer:

A. Wordy

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul F. Covington 's excerpt sounds wordy because he has written information which is not relevant to apply for a job. Besides, he also sounds quite informal. "I really just began as a lowly data-acquisition specialist.." in this quotation the words in italics are instances of informal language. "....but through a lot of hard work and a very strong work ethic ..", in this quotation Paul is bragging that he is a hard working and ethical employee, which doess not sound professional."...earned a much, much higher hourly wage.", through these words, Paul gives personal information about his pay. He is not expected to do so in a cover letter.
