Alec is writing a letter to his school principal. Which greeting would NOT be good to use at the beginning of this letter?

Read the paragraph and answer the question.

Good manners can be seen at home, at school, on the playground and at the dining table where we eat out meals. A well-mannered person is polite and gentle when he talks.

Everyone likes a person who is polite and well mannered. Good manners are always liked by everyone and bring good rewards.

All that is right pleases everyone. Therefore we should do what is right always. We should always remember to do what is right.

All that is wrong displeases everyone. Therefore, we should not do what is wrong. We will be rewarded for our good actions.

A boy or girl who constantly comes late for any work cannot be depended upon. People do not give him any important work for they do not know whether he will come on time or not. A person who is always late loses his friends.

All of us make mistakes. When we make a mistake we do not like to be punished for it. We like to be forgiven. Therefore, we too should forgive the mistakes of others. Forgiveness is a great virtue.

It is easy to make a mistake, but it is not easy to forget that mistake. If we make some mistake, we should feel sorry for it. We should also apologize to the person whom we have hurt.

We should not cheat in an examination. Cheating always does more harm than good. We should not keep bad company.

Read the passage and answer the question.

What is the most poisonous creature on earth? Many people guess that the answer would be a snake, a jellyfish, a scorpion, or a spider. Actually, most scientists agree that the most venomous animal is a harmless-looking small golden frog. Called “terribilis,” the golden frog is so toxic that even touching it can be dangerous to humans. A single frog contains enough poison to kill 20,000 mice or ten people.
