Which statement should be revised for a more formal tone? Poseidon, god of the sea, and Athena, goddess of war, fought for the c

ity of Athens. Poseidon threw his spear, which produced the Spring of Acropolis. Amaltheia was kind of like a goat who fed Zeus, which Zeus was really happy about. In fact, he turned the goat’s horn into the horn of plenty. Chronos was the ancient Greek symbol of time. His appearance, a wise old man with a long beard, is similar to a current symbol, Father Time. Sisyphus displeased the gods by disclosing secrets. He found himself forced to roll a heavy stone uphill, only to see it roll back once it reached the peak.

Answer:

The statement which should be revised for a more formal tone is the following one:

Amaltheia was kind of like a goat who fed Zeus, which Zeus was really happy about.

Explanation:

It sounds way too informal, and there is a familiarity tone which should be avoided when one wants to sound formal.

"Kind of like" and "was really happy about" sound like coming from a chat between close friends, so they are inappropriate if a more formal tone is sought. Therefore, the aforementioned statement is the one which should be revised for a more formal tone.

andrezito [222]
The cost of insurance can be quite high especially for life insurance if obtained when one has a medical condition but can at least alleviate anxiety of spouses who worry about their financial security if their partner dies early. because then they can get financial help to pay for mortgages/rent etc. Also, for car insurance, the premiums can be high but if one gets in an accident, especially if one does not have fault, then the cost of repairs and some medical treatment will be paid.

777dan777 [17]

Entertaining someone means to capture their attention.

When the bachelor says at the end <em>"I kept them quiet for ten minutes, which was more than you were able to do"</em> he is implying that no matter what she thought of his story and how much "better" she thought she could've done it, his was able to capture the attention of these kids and that is the matter of the issue because, for a story, entertaining is more important than proper form
