In my book, Allegiant, there is lots of simple vocab but there are also examples of elevated diction. When the scientists who live in the Bureau are talking, they use lots of elevated diction. For example, when a scientist, Matthew, is talking to Tris he says, "It'a a better model for having the option to select particula members of a population to opt out-you inoculate them, the virus spreads within twenty-four hours, it has no effect on them." (Roth 279). This is when Matthew is explaining something very scientific. He naturally uses bigger words since he is a scientist but since he is explaining this to Tris, he tries to dumb it down and use simpler diction.
Since that probably wasn't very interesting, here is a link to play Crazy Taxi.

I like how you gave a quote showing a perfect example of how your author uses elevated diction. Though in this example it is more simple diction, there are a few words that show that elevated diction is present, like "inoculate."
