Poseidon, god of the sea, and Athena, goddess of war, fought for the city of Athens.<\/p>\n<p>B. Poseidon threw his spear, which produced the Spring of Acropolis.<\/p>\n<p>C. Amaltheia was kind of like a goat who fed Zeus, which Zeus was really happy about. In fact, he turned the goat\u2019s horn into the horn of plenty.<\/p>\n<p>D. Chronos was the ancient Greek symbol of time. His appearance, a wise old man with a long beard, is similar to a current symbol, Father Time.<\/p>\n<p>E. Sisyphus displeased the gods by disclosing secrets. He found himself forced to roll a heavy stone uphill, only to see it roll back once it reached the peak.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"en-US\">Answer: C. Amaltheia was kind of like a goat who fed Zeus, which Zeus was really happy about. In fact, he turned the goat\u2019s horn into the horn of plenty.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">This statement in option C is written expressively and is not suitable for use in any official business. The given phrases are \u201ckind of like\u201d and \u201creally happy about\u201d; they are informal and would not be used in any legal documents or even any official writings. The following are informal elements that make the statement sound more like a post on social media than a scholarly one:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">To revise this statement for a more formal tone, we could rewrite it as follows: Amaltheia, a goat-like deity fed Zeus, an action which made him happy Although happy, Zeus changed Amaltheia\u2019s horn into the cornucopia, the \u2018horn of plenty\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">This more formal and academic language retains the same data as the former version but is framed much differently. It expunges ordinary colloquialisms out of the language and puts more pointed ones in their stead. For instance, \u201ckind of like eat\u201d changes to \u201ca goat-like creature,\u201d and \u201creally happy about\u201d to \u201cgreatly pleased.\u201d In addition, the term \u201ccornucopia\u201d which refers to the horn of plenty and has a more formal tenor, is also a part of the identifies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Thus, the mentioned changes make the given statement more appropriate for the formal writing style that can encompass academic papers, official documents, and professional reports. The language used is very business-like and formal, which in many cases is appropriate because they are often written by professionals.<\/span><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which statement should be revised for a more formal tone?
