The Office S1E2 "Diversity Day"

Graded edition · Covers the 2026-07-21 handout, ①-⑥ in full · Closed book

TO:	Katty and the entire screening crew (yes, including those of you still wearing a card on your forehead)
RE:	Answer on this page. Click your choice for multiple choice, type straight into the blanks and the answer boxes, and for matching questions write the letter from the right-hand column (A, B, C...) in the box beside each item on the left. When everything is filled in, print to PDF and hand it to your teacher.
NOTE:	Multiple-answer questions score only when every correct option is ticked. Nothing is deducted for a wrong tick. Written answers must be in English; key points are enough, nobody is asking for an essay. This paper ships with no answer key and grades nothing automatically — if you want to check your work, go back to the handout. Also: signing Daffy Duck does not count as completing the quiz.
