Answer 1

The word "deal" in this excerpt makes the tone inappropriate for the setting. In this context, "deal" is an informal term typically associated with business negotiations or agreements. Using such an informal word in a formal setting like a speech to an education board would be considered inappropriate. More appropriate words could be "activities" or "commitments."
