English Screening Quiz
The Office S2E8 "Performance Review"

Graded practice · Covers the 2026-08-03 handout, ①-⑥ · Review links available on screen

TO:	Jack, Peter and the entire screening crew (including anybody who still believes today is Friday)
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 earn credit per correct tick; each wrong tick cancels one correct tick, with a minimum score of zero. Cloze and matching questions earn partial credit per blank or pair. Written answers must be in English; key points are enough, nobody is asking for an essay. The browser receives no answers; objective items use a server-only key after submission, and written answers remain teacher-reviewed. Your performance will be graded properly; nobody here is "totally satisfactory".
