Question 3) The best sentence here that illustrates an understoodrelationship is most likely D - 'Detective Smiley scanned the dimhallway. He pulled his pistol from its holster'. This is because thereader is already likely to understand the assigned role of a detectivein the story, and that a dim hallway might therefore indicate dangerthat necessitates him to be armed.

Question 10) The connectivethat belongs in the blank in this sentence would be answer A. 'Everyoneappeared to be having a good time. Of course, my impressions may havebeen wrong.' This is due to the fact that 'Of course' is the onlyavailable connective that implies a negation of the previous sentence.

Question 13) The correct answer here is B. 'In formal businesscorrespondence, it's best to keep the language impersonal'. This istrue, as personal language and familiarity is usually consideredunprofessional in a business setting.
