Style items want clear, academic English: the precise word, not the slangy one, and not the stuffed one. Tone as a set is in tone questions.
Register and clutter
A passage that has been formal should stay formal. Extra adjectives that repeat the same idea fail, in wordiness and redundancy. Audience is who the formality is for, in audience questions.
Question types are in English question types.
The bottom line
Match the passage's register. Cut the extra words.
Start practicing
Start with a free diagnostic, then drill your weak spots with 15-question quizzes and track how you're doing across Reading, English, and Math. Compare plans whenever you're ready to go further.
