Researching and Writing about a Mythical Character

Question 7 • FL-1001310-English 1 A

Which statement should be revised for a more formal tone?

Answer

Greek mythology was created as a way for ancient people to explain the world around them.

Roman mythology was comparable in many ways to Greek mythology, although different names were used.

Poseidon, the coolest of the Greek gods, ruled the seas with his awesome tri-tip fish spear.

The story of Persephone’s capture by Hades was used to explain the annual change of seasons.

Explanation

Choice C should be revised because words such as “coolest” and “awesome” are informal and express a personal opinion. A more formal version could say that Poseidon ruled the seas and carried a three-pronged spear. The other statements use neutral, explanatory language appropriate for a formal tone.
