Explanation:

This is a formal sentence. This statement could happen in official places like the office. The person is served tea already, so he is refusing it politely in a formal tone to the official who is serving tea for the second time.
(ii)"I am crazy about Korean drama. I wish I could watch them.
This is an informal sentence. This is a statement by a friend to another friend. Korean dramas are entertainment that can't be mentioned in the official places.
(iii) "Mind your feet. You might trip over the cables.
This is a formal sentence. The statement was given by a stranger to another stranger. He's asking the other person to be careful walking, otherwise, he might trip over the cables.
(iv) Thank you for looking after me so well. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Goodbye!"
This is a formal sentence. Thanking someone formally for looking
at them.
