In the following question, a passage is given. Identify the correct tone/style of the passage from the option given underneath.

We drive into the parking at Pietermaritzburg Railway Station, where Mahatma Gandhi was infamously thrown out of his railway compartment in 1893 for daring to travel first-class.
We climb the stairs of the quaint station where he spent a cold night and sit on the bench where he might have sat before we return to our car.
Traveling 45 minutes on N3, we reach cold, windy Howick where, on August 5, 1962, police waved down a car to find Nelson Mandela at the wheel. His arrest led to a 27-year prison term that he would later call “the long walk to freedom”. The wind lashes our faces as we head to the fascinating steel sculpture in Midlands Meander. It was set up in 2012 and the 50 steel columns represent the 50 years since his capture. From a distance, the columns look like a collection of poles, but as we get closer, they merge to form an image of Mandela’s face, in a fascinating optical illusion.
