The Hodgsoniana is a literary website and in the introduction the author never uses phrases like “going to” (e.g. “I am going to write about William Hodgson”). Mark the alternative that best explains the reason for that

(a)

The author avoids “going to” because it carries a sense of aspiration and purpose.

(b)

The author avoids “going to” because it often sounds too formal and his intentions are the opposite.

(c)

The phrase “going to” is often used for immediate plans, its absence makes the text sound more formal.

(d)

Replacing “I hope” (final paragraph) with “I am going to hope” would keep the same meaning.

(e)

The phrase “going to” does not appear in the text because the author expresses his goals using the future tense.
