Sentence that uses a formal writing style is:
2)A recent court ruling about compensation for college athletes has the potential to drastically alter college sports.
Explanation:
The use of formal language is first of all evident in the direct nature of the sentence following a format without the expressive use of language which is evident in all other sentences in option.
It can be seen that the first sentence talks about people and gives an opinion which is also the case in the third and fourth sentences which are opinionated meanwhile the second sentence is informational and conveys the point effectively without bringing in any other information than the bare minimum necessary.

Explanation:
Indirect speech is described as a form of speech that is used to express the content of a declaration or any other thing that another has said using discrete words. It helps in conveying the same message using distinct words and often a change in tense(except for the universal truth as given in 'b' part of the first question('it rains in July')).
Active Voice is the form of grammatical construction in which the subject itself performs the action and leads the sentence while in passive voice, the sentence is led by the object and action of the verb. In the active voice, the subject is the primary emphasis of the sentence while in the passive voice, the subject receives the action. But the passive of an 'intransitive' verb cannot be formed because it does not have an object.
<em><u>Sometimes, you're asked to write two smaller contrasting pieces (300-450 words each) instead of one 600-900 word piece. For these, make sure to not just use 'opposite' words and phrases; use convincingly contrasting ideas. Try to create arresting openings/endings or even cliffhangers.</u></em>
