The Epic Hero's Quest — Test

Question 15 • English 9 CR SUSD (EX)

Which statement should be revised for a more formal tone?

Answer
A
The story of Persephone’s capture by Hades was used to explain the annual change of seasons.
B
Poseidon, the coolest of the Greek gods, ruled the seas with his awesome tri-tip fish spear.
C
Roman mythology was comparable in many ways to Greek mythology, although different names were used.
D
Greek mythology was created as a way for ancient people to explain the world around them.

Explanation

Choice B should be revised because words such as “coolest” and “awesome” are informal and subjective. A more formal version would describe Poseidon as a Greek god who ruled the seas and carried a three-pronged spear. The other choices use a neutral, informational tone.
