Answer 2

A formal tone focuses on sentences being clear and respectful.

• Formal writing frequently uses whole words, not contractions or other shorter words. It uses standard English.
• This tone usually avoids using slang, overuse of pronouns and other jargon.
• The tone also stresses facts rather than views and is grammatically sound.
• The overall tone of the sentences should be clear, and respectful and must convey the proper meaning.
• The correct sentences with a more formal tone are -

1. Writing can't be done effectively if you don't work overtime.

2. Parenting is a nonstop job.

3. Watching that romantic comedy gave the audience a feeling.

4. The class is preparing something big.

5. Adventure may mean doing someting extravagant.
