Which one of these statements would be considered inappropriate in formal writing?
lana66690 [7]
I believe that B. would be inappropriate in formal writing because its just kind of rude to say. I would re-word it as: "He dislikes being late" or something like that because "hate" is just a cruel and informal word to use.
Hope this helps!!! (:
