Answer 1

The correct response is:

Claim 2 is written in a more formal style because it uses more complex sentences and advanced vocabulary.

This is accurate because Claim 2 presents research-backed information and uses formal language, which is more complex compared to the personal and casual tone of Claim 1, which reflects personal experience and subjective feelings.
