Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Sentence 1 is formal. Option A ("offers children outdoor exercise, such as hiking") is more formal and matches its style. Options B, C, D use informal words like "kids", "stuff".
  2. Sentence 6 ("No way, I say!") is very informal compared to the rest of the paragraph which is more about explaining the importance of the campground.
  3. "Falling asleep" is the most formal among the options. "Catching some z’s", "nodding off", "getting some shut - eye" are more informal.
  4. Option D ("We must preserve our local campground!") is in line with the formal and serious tone of arguing for the campground's preservation. Options A ("Nobody gets it!"), B ("pesky builders"), C ("They've really got to leave") have more informal or less formal language.

Answer:

  1. A. First, it offers children outdoor exercise, such as hiking.
  2. D. Sentence 6
  3. B. falling asleep
  4. D. We must preserve our local campground!
