The sentence that varies from formal standard English is:
A: "I did not finish my social studies homework because I had a ton of math homework."
The informal phrase "a ton of" is less suitable for formal writing compared to the more precise language used in options B and C. Option D also uses a more specific quantity with "fifty problems," but it's more acceptable in formal contexts.
