Which statement should be revised for a more formal tone? poseidon, god of the sea, and athena, goddess of war, fought for the city of athens. poseidon threw his spear, which produced the spring of acropolis. amaltheia was kind of like a goat who fed zeus, which zeus was really happy about. in fact, he turned the goat’s horn into the horn of plenty. 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. sisyphus 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.

The statement that should be modified to make it more formal is: "Amaltheia was kind of like a goat who fed Zeus, which Zeus was really happy about."

The phrase "kind of like a goat" is very vague in comparison to how the author describes other characters such as Chronos. Moreover, the phrase "kind of" is usually found in orals discourse, it is not often fouond in written formal discourse.

The phrase "really happy about" is quite simple to describe Zeus's state. In a formal written piece of discourse, one would expect to find more accurate or powerful vocabulary.
