Question

(Normally, Salem Haunted Happenings has 31 days of events. The Grand Parade, which kicks off the October festivities, was canceled this year, along with other in-person events. Instead, there will be online events including a virtual Haunted Happenings Market and a virtual Halloween costume contest.)

Which phrase from the paragraph shows the author's casual tone?

Answer 1

"kicks off".

Step-by-step explanation:

A casual tone is the use of any language that is informal or the language we use while talking to a friend. It may include the use of certain language or phrases, words, or grammar that is informal.

In the given paragraph, the casual tone is or can be detected by the use of the word "kicks off" which makes the whole sentence or message an informal one. It suggests a casual tone, an easy-going approach, and is not formal.
