Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Question 17: "Mexican" should be capitalized as it refers to a nationality. Option D corrects the capitalization of "Mexican".
  • Question 18: In a formal report, "approximately" is a more appropriate and formal word choice compared to "like" or "something like". Option C uses "approximately" correctly.
  • Question 19: The subject "Many of her paintings" is plural, so the verb should be "show" (plural form). Option B corrects the verb - subject agreement.
  • Question 20: "Psychotherapy" is a more formal and appropriate term than "a shrink" in a formal context. Option A replaces "a shrink" with "psychotherapy", which is a better word choice.
