The option that means "word for word" is the second one, letter B: Verbatim
Let's take a look at the meanings of all the options:
- Proverb: is a short saying that usually states a truth or piece of advice.
- Verbatim: means word for word, that is, using the exact same words as were used to state something before.
- Verbose: means saying something using more words than what would be necessary.
- Verbalize: means simply "to express something" in words.
- Diversity: is the state of being different, varied, diverse.
The incorrect word or phase is: sports* not sports's
sports is the correct answer
While congratulating her colleague on her promotion, Kate should focus the message on the receiver.
Explanation:
As the person in focus is Kate's colleague who has got a promotion and not Kate herself, it would sound more appropriate if Kate talks about her colleague's achievement instead of herself. It is an important moment in the life and career of Kate's colleague and she deserves the accolade.
It would not be considered quiet civilized for Kate to talk about herself on such occasion. In her letter, Kate should keep the focus on her colleague's achievements.
