Hi Welcome to Openstudy @ThatOneLibrarian and @Adrian_oso_arogant ! :)

Maybe the first thing that we should do is to know the meaning of each choices using Mr. G. and according to him:

• colloquial: used in ordinary or familiar conversation; not formal or literary (in other words, this is a story that is not published. For example, making up stories out from nowhere and you are telling it to other people)
• Formal: from the word 'form' means structure. Does the passage has a specific elements/format?
• Informal: Same thing with colloquial but some examples of this are anecdotes, fables and those kind of stuff.

So from these definitions, which one do you think is the right one?
