Answer 1

The statement that should be revised for a more formal tone is C. 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.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence C is the statement that should be revised for a more formal tone mainly because of the use of the phrase "kind of" and the non-defining clause "which Zeus was really happy about".

The phrase "kind of" is used to talk in a general way without being exact, so one could change it for some other phrase like to some extent or in a figurative way to improve the register.

The structure of the non-defining clause can be retained, but, in order to make it more formal, one may use some other verb like delight or thrill.
