Please follow the way how to format the question properly sir
back to the question
The family no longer buys store-bought greeting cards, and they think the annoying one-liners are too _____ to express proper emotion in a tasteful way.
AE can be ruled out by sentence meaning. Through the tasteful manner, we can know that the reason for not buying greeting cards is because the family thinks that the greeting cards are not high-end, not that the greeting cards themselves are inappropriate, so BC is excluded. Based on the above, choose D.
