Answer:
The statements that indicate an informal tone that is inappropriate for an academic paper are:
When you think about it, this poem is really crazy.
I can't believe that people think that this writer's talented.
This book should be avoided like the plague it's so bad.
Explanation:
Academic papers demand a more formal tone that confers more objectivity to them. They avoid using the first person, expressing subjective opinions, and using an overall informal, colloquial language. The purpose is to present information via an impersonal tone. Among the sentences we were provided for analysis, there are three that present a personal opinion of the speaker in quite a colloquial manner, using everyday language to convey a subjective perspective:

EFFECT OF GROWING LOADSHEDDING ON STUDENTS.
Dear Mr. Adam, recently, there have been an increase in loadshedding which initially was supposed to be a one-time thing but has turned out to be frequent.
This growing loadshedding is affecting students because we don't have electricity to even study and do homeworks, research or class projects.
This has also affected the WiFi as when the electricity is out, the WiFi becomes unstable and downright unusable.
There has also been an increase in discomfort among the students as this has led to sleep disruptions especially as this is done at the height of summer when the air conditioning is most needed.
Please, I want you to bring this problem to the mass media so a solution will be provided. Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Adam.
