Sample question
Reply about the kitchen leak
Hi Marcus, Thanks for letting me know about the leak in the staff kitchen. I've _____ the building manager, and she said a plumber can come _____ Thursday at the latest. In the meantime, could you _____ a sign asking people not to use the sink? I'd also appreciate it if you could _____ an eye on the floor in case it gets slippery. Thanks, Dana
