Answer:

1. She played video games all day long without stopping. - c.  Immature Writing

2. Without ceasing, she gripped her controller in her hands and dominated her video games all day long. - b.  Mature Writing

3. For what had the quality of time interminable, she toiled merrily at her digital amusement. - a.  Overuse of Thesaurus

Explanation:

Let's take a look at each sentence.

Sentence number 1 uses a very simple vocabulary. In a sense, there is nothing special about it. No vivid descriptions, no word choice to help us picture the actions or sense the feelings. Therefore, it is an example of immature writing.

Sentence 2 is the opposite of 1. It uses more complex and descriptive words. Instead of simply saying "she played video games", the author makes it an action really worth telling with "she gripped her controller in her hands and dominated her video games." It sounds more exciting, and we can see her, the character, in action. Therefore, number 2 is an example of mature writing.

Finally, sentence 3 goes to an extreme when it comes to the use of complex or unusual words. It seems as if the author wanted to sound smart, so he/she exaggerated in the use of the Thesaurus. That, as a matter of fact, makes it much more difficult to comprehend the message being conveyed.

Answer:

She played video games all day long without stopping - Immature writing

Without ceasing, she gripped her controller in her hands and dominated  her video games all day long - Mature Writing

or what had the quality of time interminable, she toiled merrily at her digital amusement - Overuse of the Thesaurus

Explanation:

She played video games all day long without stopping.

A) Immature Writing

Explanation: While this is a complete sentence, this is generally only accepted in casual sentences, and is not used for formal writings.

B) Mature Writing

Without ceasing, she gripped her controller in her hands and dominated her video games all day long.

Explanation: While this is not a casual writing, it doesn't overuse any "high-class" words that very few know. This is the right sentence to use in many stories or essays.

C) Overuse of the Thesaurus

For what had the quality of time interminable, she toiled merrily at her digital amusement.

Explanation: This sentence uses the Thesaurus too much, for many of the words used are not "every-day" words, and is most likely a "bigger" word found in the Thesaurus.
