<span>Odysseus is intimidating his enemy by bragging about his fearsome battle skills that is why he told his tales to the people in order to bring himself glory. Such stories includes Helios (the sun god) having seven herds of oxen and seven flocks of sheep guarded by his daughters, Phaëthusa and Lampetië. Circe warned Odysseus to avoid the island no matter what as these harming these cattles will bring will down Zeus’ wrath. However, cursed by Poseidon, Odysseus and his men decided to stay on the island for a month with the condition that no one must touch the cattles. When all the cattles died, Helios was enraged and asked Zeus to cast a lightning on Odysseus’ ship. All his men died except for Odysseus.</span>

The revision that correctly uses formal style is "Some would argue that Hermione forgives her husband's past cruel actions too easily, but this detail..."

<h3>Characteristics of formal style</h3>

A text written in a formal style will present the following characteristics:

  • Formal vocabulary, that is, words that are not commonly used in daily conversations.
  • Sentences with inverted structures or in the passive voice.
  • An impersonal tone, that is, a lack of opinion or feelings toward the topic.

That is why option C is the best answer for this question. All other options use words that evoke feelings and express opinions. Option C, on the other hand, maintains a more formal style and impersonal tone.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

"Some would argue that Hermione forgives her husband's past cruel actions too easily, but this detail differs from Ovid's story because Galatea has no past at all."
