  1. Which sentence is written in the passive voice?

    Answer: The safety audit was conducted by the compliance team.

    'Was conducted by' is passive voice — the subject (safety audit) receives the action rather than performing it.

  2. What does 'adjacent' mean?

    Answer: Nearby or next to

    'Adjacent' means next to or close to something. For example, 'the adjacent workstation' means the one next to yours.

  3. Choose the correctly spelled word.

    Answer: receive

    'Receive' follows the 'i before e except after c' rule. After 'c', the correct order is 'ei'.

  4. A workplace form asks for your 'date of commencement'. What does this mean?

    Answer: The date you started the job

    'Commencement' means the beginning or start. 'Date of commencement' is the date you began working in the role.

  5. Which sentence uses an apostrophe correctly?

    Answer: The team's results improved this quarter.

    'Team's' correctly uses an apostrophe to show possession (belonging to the team). 'Results' is a plural noun and does not need an apostrophe.

  6. What is the most formal way to begin a professional email to someone you have not met?

    Answer: Dear [Name],
