I would say Formal .

anonymous · Answer

It is a longer sentence, which is often seen more in formal writing. It uses full and proper words no abbreviations. It states its point confidently and has supporting follow up. Also it is written in third person with lack of personal or emotion feelings. So that is why I would say formal.
