The correct answer is "Slang displays a tone that is too casual"
Slang speak is highly informal, sometimes even offensive. One should never use slang in a business setting because business deals should be kept highly informal and professional. Slang shouldn't be used under any circumstance as it may insult the people with whom we are talking by making it seem that we don't appreciate them or their business endeavors.
The correct answer among all the other choices is "He is savage and brutal like a wild animal." This is what can be inferred about the Cyclops. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
