Hey, gang!
Lately they have been a whole bunch of small but unavoidable errors in the formatting and styling for the website. Although I'm happy to review your work, I cannot continue this many hours per day playing firefighter. Please take a sec to familiarise yourself with our style manual and be sure to follow it closely going forward.
Thanks,

Question 1 of 5
Which of the following words or phrases are informal within a business context? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In a professional business context, it is more appropriate to use formal salutations like 'Hello' or 'Greetings' instead of 'Hey, gang!' which is informal and lacks a professional tone. 'Going forward,' 'A whole bunch,' and 'Playing firefighter' are commonly used in business settings and do not carry the same level of informality as 'Hey, gang!' which is more casual and less professional. 'Going forward' is a standard business term indicating future actions, 'A whole bunch' may be informal but is common in everyday business language, and 'Playing firefighter' metaphorically refers to solving urgent issues, which is acceptable in certain business contexts.

Question 2 of 5
A pastry chef is organizing the syllabus for a breads class at a local community college. They first want to make sure that the students know about the basic type of equipment used in commercial bread making. After discussing equipment, the chef wishes to teach a few simple lessons on simple dough, including traditional ones and those with ancient grains, and then cover enriched dough in both sweet and savory applications. Given all of these requirements, how should the chef outline the course?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Equipment'. The chef should outline the course starting with equipment used in commercial bread making as it is essential for students to understand the tools necessary before moving on to different types of dough. This approach ensures a structured learning process, building a foundation before progressing to more complex topics like simple dough, traditional and ancient grains, and enriched doughs in sweet and savory applications.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following options best completes the sentence below? The responsibilities of a class president are extensive; ................., she should not become so involved that she neglects her studies.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'however.' The word 'however' is used to contrast or show opposition between two parts of a sentence. In this context, it highlights a shift in focus from the extensive responsibilities of a class president to a warning about not neglecting studies. 'Especially' would not be the best choice here as it does not provide the needed contrast. 'Therefore' would imply a conclusion rather than a contrasting idea, and 'indeed' does not establish the intended contrast required in the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Everyone knew Sam was committed to helping animals because of his volunteer work at the animal shelter.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct spelling is 'committed.' In this context, 'committed' means dedicated or devoted. Sam's volunteer work at the animal shelter indicates his dedication to helping animals. By choosing option D, you acknowledge that 'committed' is the correct spelling, reinforcing the idea that Sam is dedicated to assisting animals through his volunteer work.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements regarding thesis statements in the writing process is correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A thesis statement plays a vital role in guiding the content and direction of an essay or paper. It is meant to be specific and concise, acting as a roadmap for the reader by clearly stating the main argument or purpose of the writing. The specificity of the thesis statement is crucial as it helps the writer focus their ideas and enables them to provide relevant supporting evidence throughout the paper. By being specific, the thesis statement becomes a strong foundation upon which the rest of the writing can be built. Therefore, the correct choice is A, emphasizing the importance of specific wording in thesis statements.
