Select the sentence that uses formal, standard english.
a)bruce was so hungry he ate like a pig and swiftly cleaned his plate.
b)feeling hungry enough to eat a horse, bruce made his dinner rapidly disappear.
c)famished, bruce quickly ate his dinner.

The correct answer is option C) "Famished, Bruce quickly ate his dinner."

Explanation:

Formal, standard English avoids de use of informal expressions or idioms.

In option A),  the expression "ate like a pig" is very informal and does not use standard English

In option B), "feeling hungry enough to eat a horse" also reflects the use of informal language.

Option C, on the other hand, expresses the idea that Bruce is hungry without any reference to informal language. It only uses the adjective "famished" to describe he was hungry.
