Which statement should be revised for a more formal tone?

Answer

Artemis wasn’t great to have around because she’s the one who brought death and disease everywhere.

Artemis and Apollo, her twin brother, were armed with bows, quivers, and arrows in battle.

Artemis never fell in love and remained unmarried, remaining a symbol of purity and holiness.

Artemis was considered the goddess of wild animals, hunting, and the natural world.

Explanation

Choice A should be revised because “wasn’t great to have around” is conversational and informal. A more formal version might say that Artemis was feared because she brought death and disease. The other choices use a more formal, neutral style.
