A Correct answer
Explanation

"Pretty" is the most direct and common synonym for "good-looking" when describing someone's appearance. "Nice-looking" is grammatically awkward and less commonly used. "Lovely" is more about beauty or charm than general physical appearance. "Pure" refers to moral cleanliness or being unmixed, which is unrelated to physical appearance.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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').

Explanation

Option D is the most appropriate system message - it's clear, professional, and helpful. It identifies the error precisely ('Invalid Employee Code'), explains what needs to be done ('select the right code'), and provides context ('from the Employee List'). Options A and B are too informal or abrupt ('Wrong input!' or unclear), while C is less helpful than D.

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.
