Which statement should be revised for a more formal tone? greek mythology was created as a way for ancient people to explain the world around them. roman mythology was comparable in many ways to greek mythology, although different names were used. poseidon, the coolest of the greek gods, ruled the seas with his awesome tri-tip fish spear. the story of persephone’s capture by hades was used to explain the annual change of seasons.

The correct answer is "Poseidon, the coolest of the Greek gods, ruled the seas with his awesome tri-tip fish spear"

Explanation:

In writing, a formal tone refers to a type of writing style and attitude from the author or writer that shows the author has a serious and authority author toward the issue or situation that is describing. Because of this, when the author uses a formal tone he or she follows language, style and grammar rules to write, includes appropriate language such as technical or scientific words and avoids showing his/her personal perceptions as well as including informal words or expressions such as slangs. Considering this, the statement that needs to be revised for a more formal tone is "Poseidon, the coolest of the Greek gods, ruled the seas with his awesome tri-tip fish spear", because this statement includes the word "coolest" which is part of the author's personal perception and it is too informal and therefore part of an informal tone rather than a formal one.

dramatic irony occurs when the reader/audience knows more about a character's situation than the character does. the one main effect is that it gives the reader a sense of superiority, or detached superiority. the reader not only seemingly discovers what is revealed, but feels superior for doing so.
