Explanation:

To determine formal and informal writing styles:

• Formal style is characterized by adherence to grammar, use of advanced vocabulary, and complex sentence structures (as these are typical of academic, professional, or official writing).

• "uses first - person pronouns" - First - person (I, we) creates a personal, informal tone in many cases.
