Hot Sauce · Answer 2

A. It is too impersonal and lacks passion.

Explanation:

The speaker of the text is speaking very impersonally and totally without passion. The speaker is treating the conversation as trivial, unimportant, unnecessary. It is as if the speaker is closing a deal that would make no difference to his life and that is none of his business.

This would be different if the speaker had a personal tone, he would show passion, interest and emotion in asking these questions.
