MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
1 min • Ungraded
You know that Mr. is short for mister, but do you know what CEO means? It stands for chief executive officer. Not all abbreviations stand for people. For example, Pk. means park, Rd. stands for road, and Mt. represents mountain. The abbreviation Dr. stands for two different words-doctor and drive. Units of measure also have abbreviations. Teaspoon is often shortened to tsp. and gal. stands for gallon. The Author’s main purpose for writing this passage is to
Entertain the reader with a story about a person trying to become CEO.
Inform the reader that abbreviations are used for a variety of words.
Entertain the reader with a funny story about a teaspoon at a park.
Inform the reader that Mr. is short for Mister.
