Answer: A recent court ruling about compensation for college athletes has the potential to drastically alter college sports.

Formal Writing Style refers to the use of direct and impersonal language when writing. It is usually Objective and is thus used for more technical documents such as financial statements, legal documents and research papers.

If you notice the options given, only Option B states an objective fact with an impersonal and direct tone.

The other options offer opinions and/or are not objective.
