Lately there have been a whole bunch of small but avoidable errors in the formatting and styling for our website. Although I'm happy to review your work, I cannot continue to spend this many hours per day playing firefighter. Please take a sec to refamiliarize yourselves with our style manual and be sure to follow it closely going forward.

Thanks, Morgan

The above is an internal memo from the head of a web development team. Which of the following words or phrases is formal within a business context? 

The Correct answer is A. This is because the word “Crucial” is spelled right

This option correctly uses a comma after "dull" to separate the introductory clause from the main clause. Additionally, it correctly uses an apostrophe in "it's" to indicate the contraction of "it is."

Informal language is typically suitable for casual and personal communication, such as text messages to friends. In more formal settings, like a job application, peer review, or an email to a professor, it is generally more appropriate to use formal language.

The adverb "swiftly" describes how the woman ran, indicating the manner or speed of the action.

In this sentence, the adverb "slowly" is used correctly to modify the verb "wrote," indicating the manner in which the student wrote. Additionally, the adjective "slow" is appropriately used to describe the writer in the second part of the sentence.

"Conscientious" means being careful, diligent, and guided by a strong sense of responsibility. The correct spelling includes the root "science," derived from the Latin word "scire," meaning "to know." The other options are misspellings that do not match the correct form of the word.

The best concluding sentence should reinforce the main idea of the paragraph while providing a strong closing statement. Option C effectively restates the call to action presented earlier in the paragraph, emphasizing the importance of preventing littering to protect wildlife. The other options either repeat existing information or do not effectively wrap up the paragraph.

The conjunction in this sentence is "and," which connects two independent clauses, indicating a relationship between the actions of finishing mowing the lawn and taking a long nap.

Proofreading involves reviewing a document to identify and correct errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting. Checking for spelling is one of the essential steps in the proofreading process.

The prefix "post-" indicates something that comes after or is subsequent to a particular event or time. It is often used to denote a sequence of events.
