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:
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.
Answer:
The sentence that shows the best placement for the modifier "that was on sale" is the following one: Sheila bought soap that was on sale at the farmer's market.
Explanation:
A relative clause is a subordinate clause which specifies or gives information about a person or thing. In this case, the relative clause, <em>that was on sale, </em>gives further information regarding the noun <em>soap.</em> What is more, this relative clause is considered essential because it provides necessary information with respect to the noun it refers. If it was dropped, the sentence would not have the same meaning (see 1).
1) Sheila bought soap at the farmer's market
Sheila bought a particular soap, the soap which was on sale, not any soap. With the information included in the relative clause, the reader can identify which soap Sheila bought.

Answer:
B) Flashback
Explanation:
I have found the sentence that is missing in your question. Also, I think that the sentence is not written correctly but I cannot find from which story it comes from.
”If she close her eyes, she down from a nearby mountain and chasing her family.”
- In this sentence we can see a flashback as a literary device because the narrator is describing us a situation from the past in which he has the ability to remember it trough closed eyes.
Flashback are often shown in literary work as interruptions where writers are showing action that happened in the past because in that way they are providing context to some events or narrative that will happen in the future.
