Why did you eliminate this option: Erin has a crucial appointment early Monday morning. 

Formal English is used in “serious” texts and situations — for example, in official documents, books, news reports, articles, business letters or official speeches. Informal English is used in everyday conversations and in personal letters.

It's A because playing hookie, sneak-peak, and bogus tale are informal while "Erin has a crucial appointment early Monday morning" has nothing informal about it.
