Question

Which sentence would be inappropriate in an informational piece of writing with a formal tone?

That year, army major H. C. Wayne and naval lieutenant David D. Porter were sent off in a supply ship to buy camels and bring them home.

Congress refused the secretary of war's request for funds to purchase 1,000 camels for military use in the West.

The drivers found the camels ugly and often grumbled about their smell and how the camels spat at them and sometimes bit them.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "The drivers found the camels ugly and often grumbled about their smell and how the camels spat at them and sometimes bit them".

Step-by-step explanation:

An informational piece of writing with a formal tone is used for communication among professionals dealing with important situations. For instance, a historian trying to make a summary of her or his findings to the institution that paid for the trip. A formal tone involves showing respect to the audience and having seriousness about the given information. The third sentence is not written using a formal tone because words such as "ugly", "grumbled" and "spat" must be changed to sound more polite and professional.
