D Correct answer
Explanation

Option D is correct because 'despite' is never followed by 'of' - it stands alone. Options A, B, and C are grammatically incorrect: 'Despite of' (A) should be just 'despite'; 'inspite of' (B) should be 'in spite of' (two words); 'in spite my being' (C) should be 'in spite of my being'. The rule is: use 'despite' alone or 'in spite of' (three words with 'of').

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Option C is best because it uses imperative mood directly ('Type in your Business Role Code'), states the action clearly, and describes the result concisely. It avoids wordiness and unnecessary formality. Options A and B are unnecessarily wordy ('please indicate', 'must be specified'). Option D is also wordy ('must specify'). Technical writing prefers direct action verbs.

Option C is wrong: 'referring to' is phrasal verb ending; the correct form is 'Whom are you referring to?' or 'To whom are you referring?'

We've sent engraved invitations to Connie, Lucille, and ---------------.

  1. you

  2. yourself

  3. yourselves

  4. your
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

When a pronoun follows 'to' and refers back to the subject ('we'), use subject pronoun form. Here, 'you' is correct as it's the object of 'to'. 'Yourself' (reflexive) is used when the subject and object are the same person (e.g., 'You treat yourself well'). 'Yourselves' is plural reflexive. 'Your' is possessive, not a pronoun.

There was no one in the castle but Esmerelda and ---------.

  1. I

  2. me

  3. myself

  4. mine
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The preposition 'but' (meaning 'except') requires the objective case for the pronoun that follows. Therefore, 'me' is grammatically correct. 'I' is the subjective case, and 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun which is inappropriate here as there is no preceding 'I' to reflect.
