modals... and compound sentences...

yeah used compound sentences often with multiple conjunctions, it was standard terms often jargon-like with "domestic ports", and the other had informal language with contractions..

jargon, declarative to inform terms and conditions and capitalised pronouns.

yeah definitely lack of pronouns, nominalisation, lack of contractions shortening..and the use of jargon..etc etc

ahhh good idea, didn't mention information flow once in that.

[_avO]

I wrote something like use of passive as they wanted to take an authoritative stance rather then a casual or intimate one..

[cambiej]

I wouldn't stress, none of the above seem inherently wrong... marks for all! Wee!

[_avO]

Hmm I think I got at least 30% of each question wrong lol (the 5 and 6 mark ones)

How about the relationship between A and C? I wrote it was somewhat close, even though they were strangers as there was overlapping which seemed as though they accepted it and completing each other sentences

 I said their relationship was distant however they respected each other

[vexx]

^ yeah i mentioned they had established a close relationship despite being strangers seen through a huge range of features, like those mentioned (overlap, finishing sentences, shared knowledge, etc...)
