Which of the following would be most helpful in creating a more formal and professional tone? mentioning the request sooner better explaining the purpose for writing eliminating the informal language just removing the contractions all of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

I think the most helpful way to create a more formal and professional tone is to eliminate the informal language.

Explanation:

The paragraph has phrases  like "off the hook", or homeless "peeps" that are not accurate for a formal request. If those words or phrases are changed for more formal ones, the whole request will sound more serious and important.
