For question 1, the correct answer is A. In formal writing, abbreviations can be used sparingly. You can arrive at this answer by understanding the general rules and expectations of formal writing. In formal writing, it is generally advised to avoid excessive use of abbreviations to maintain clarity and professionalism. However, there may be certain abbreviations that are well-known and widely accepted (such as "USA" for United States of America), which can be used sparingly. The key is to use abbreviations judiciously and ensure that they are understood by your intended audience.

For question 2, the correct answer is C. The paragraph contrasting two teachers with the first half focusing on Ms. Chavez and the second half focusing on Mr. Munn is using point-by-point organization. In a point-by-point organization, you typically alternate between discussing different aspects or points about the two subjects being compared or contrasted. In this case, the paragraph first presents information about Ms. Chavez and then transitions to discussing Mr. Munn.

For question 3, the correct answer is A. If the paragraphs are left in the given order, the author is using a block approach. A block approach is characterized by grouping together similar or related information in distinct paragraphs. Each paragraph focuses on a particular aspect or topic, presenting all the relevant details before moving on to the next topic.
