Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

1st person and second dont count. A formal writing style shows a limited range of emotions and avoids emotive punctuation such as exclamation points, ellipsis, etc., unless they are being cited from another source. Full Words – No contractions should be used to simplify words (in other words use "It is" rather than "It's").
