Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: What does "How's it going?" mean in everyday conversation?

Question 1 options
"How's it going?" is an informal way to say hello and ask how someone is. It does not literally ask about walking or traveling somewhere.
Q2 15

Question 2: Someone says: "Hi! How are you doing?" Choose the most natural reply.

Question 2 options
"Good, thanks! And you?" is the most natural and common reply. It answers the question briefly and politely returns it. "How do you do?" is too formal, and "I do fine" is unnatural English.
Q3 15

Question 3: Tom meets his boss at 9 a.m. Tom: "___, Mr. Parker." Mr. Parker: "Good morning, Tom."

Question 3 options
At 9 a.m. the correct time-based greeting is "Good morning." "Good evening" is for after 6 p.m., "Good night" is for saying goodbye at night, and "Hey there" is too casual for a boss.
Q4 15

Question 4: "Long time, no see" is a greeting you use when you meet someone you have not seen for a while.

Question 4 options
This is true. "Long time, no see" is a common informal greeting used when you meet someone after a long period of not seeing them.

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

"Good afternoon" is a formal hello after 12 p.m. "Pleased to meet you" is for a first meeting. "How's life?" casually asks how someone is. "Long time, no see" greets someone you haven't seen in a while.
Q6 15

Question 6: You arrive at a hotel at 8 p.m. The receptionist smiles. What is the most natural greeting for you to say?

Question 6 options
At 8 p.m. the appropriate time-based greeting is "Good evening." "Good afternoon" is for before 6 p.m., "Good night" is used when leaving or going to bed, and "Hey, what's up?" is too casual for a hotel receptionist.
Q7 15

Question 7: You walk into a small shop. The shopkeeper says: "Morning! How can I help you?" What is the most natural reply?

Question 7 options
"Morning! I'm just looking, thanks" mirrors the shopkeeper's friendly but polite tone. "How do you do?" is too formal and old-fashioned for a shop. The other options don't naturally respond to the shopkeeper's question.
Q8 15

Question 8: A friend invites you to a party. You see her at the door. She says: "Hey! So glad you came!" What do you say?

Question 8 options
"Hey! Thanks for having me!" is a warm, natural, and friendly response to someone welcoming you. "Pleased to make your acquaintance" is far too formal for a friend, and "How do you do?" doesn't fit this casual setting.
Q9 15

Question 9: Which phrase is a common way to say hello in informal English?

Question 9 options
"What's up?" is a very common informal greeting in English. "How do you do?" is formal and old-fashioned. "Good day, sir" is very formal. "I greet you warmly" sounds unnatural in everyday speech.
Q10 15

Question 10: Which sentence sounds most natural when greeting a coworker at the office in the morning?

Question 10 options
"Morning! How are you?" is the most natural, friendly, and appropriate office greeting. "I wish you a very good morning" is overly formal. "Yo! What's up?" is too casual for most offices. "Hello, I greet you today" sounds unnatural.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which greeting is the most formal way to say hello?

Question 11 options
"Good afternoon, how do you do?" combines a time-based greeting with the very formal "how do you do?" This is clearly the most formal option. "Hey there!" and "Alright!" are very informal, and "Hi, how's it going?" is casual.
Q12 15

Question 12: How would you greet a close friend you see every day?

Question 12 options
"Hey!" is a short, casual, and natural greeting for a close friend. "Good evening, pleased to meet you" is formal and used for first meetings. "How do you do?" is very formal. "Good day to you" sounds stiff and old-fashioned between friends.
Q13 15

Question 13: Your friend says: "I haven't seen you in ages!" In this sentence, what does "in ages" mean?

Question 13 options
"In ages" is a common informal expression meaning "for a very long time." It does not refer to a person's age or a specific number of years.
Q14 15

Question 14: It is appropriate to say "Yo! 'Sup?" when you meet your company's CEO for the first time.

Question 14 options
This is false. "Yo! 'Sup?" is very informal slang. When meeting a CEO for the first time, a formal greeting like "Good morning" or "Pleased to meet you" is appropriate.
