    A). It focuses on one main character and one main plot event.

    Explanation:

    Formal language is exemplified as the language that employs a specific syntax and terminology that promotes a 'less personal' and 'more sophisticated and conventional' tone in order to reflect seriousness and formality of the message.

    In the given excerpt, sentence 3 could be best be revised by 'option A' i. e. 'It focuses on one main character and one main plot event' as the use of words 'character and plot event' inculcates a formal syntax and avoids 'colloquialism' (reflected by 'one person, one important thing' in sentence 3). It offers a more formal and less personal tone to the statement. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
