Answer 2

The right answer is D” the speaker laughs several times talking about incidents when people have been stung.” The informal style is when you use colloquial language in your speech. Usually it is more direct than formal style and it is characterized by abbreviations, short sentences, ellipses or contractions. It also does not contain harsh grammatical sentences.
