The vernacular is used :

  • A.All the time
  • B.In all situations
  • C.With all listeners
  • D.In informal situations

Answer: D

The passage says the vernacular is used in informal situations.

The relevant sentence reads: 'The vernacular is used among friends and relatives, whereas more formal language ... is often used in a cover letter and résumé and while speaking during a job interview.' Friends and relatives are an informal setting, and the contrast with formal language shows the vernacular belongs there.

'All the time', 'in all situations' and 'with all listeners' each make the vernacular universal, which the sentence rules out by setting it against formal language used in other situations such as a job interview.
