Q: Dear Mr. Watson, CLAIM AL54323432--STORM DAMAGE TO ROOF      I received a cheque for $623 dated 26 January in payment of my recent claim . However, I wish to tell you how upset I have been by the way your Claims Assessor, Mr. Michael Tan, handled this claim.      When Mr. Tan first called me, he specifically told me that he believed I had been overcharged, and he would expect to pay that price for work on a double garage, rather than a single garage like mine. Mr. Tan suggested that I neither use nor recommend this contractor again. He continued to tell me it was unlikely for me to receive full payment. Never during this conversation did he mention that the reason for not receiving full payment was because of the nature of my insurance policy.      Consequently, I wrote to Mr. Lance Ashe to complain about his pricing, stating that I was very upset thinking that he could have taken advantage by overcharging a 73-year-old woman. Mr. Ashe telephoned me immediately and explained his charges in detail. He later reported back to me that Mr. Tan explained that I would not receive full payment because of the type of policy I hold, which does not cover wear and tear. This was the first time this issue had been brought to my attention, so you can imagine my surprise.     When I received Mr. Tan's letter of 2 February, this situation was explained. If this had been explained in the first place I would have accepted it and would not have questioned Mr. Ashe's charges. Instead, by telling me initially that I had been overcharged for this work, he caused a great deal of upset, not only for me but also for Mr. Ashe.      I believed this claim was handled badly by Mr. Tan from the beginning. Therefore, a great deal of embarrassment has been caused over this issue.  I felt you should know how disappointed and upset I am. I trust you will look into this and ensure that such claims are handled more appropriately in the future.                                                 Yours sincerely,                                      ... The author writes this letter to   _  . A) inform the manager of a payment B) complain about a mishandled case C) demand an apology from Mr. Watson D) require the manager to fire Mr. Tan
A: B

Last year we visited prefix = st1 /Stratford, the place where Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April, 1564.  Stratford is a very interesting town, right in the center of England. The countryside aroundStratfordis pleasant, with its beautiful woods, green fields and quiet rivers.  The first place we visited was the house in the center of Stratfordwhere Shakespeare was born. We saw the small desk that Shakespeare sat at when he went to school. One of the things we liked best was the garden behind the house, because we could see there many of the flowers, trees and plants that Shakespeare wrote about in his plays.  After we had visited Shakespeare's birthplace, we went to see the church where he was buried.  We had lunch in a very old hotel that was probably there in Shakespeare's time. Every room of the hotel had the name of one of Shakespeare's plays on the door--the "Hamlet" room, the "Romeo and Juliet" room, and so on.  After lunch we walked across the fields to the old cottage, about a mile out of Stratford, where Shakespeare spent most of his married life. The cottage is just as it was in Shakespeare's day. We saw the chairs where Shakespeare perhaps sat and thought about ideas for new plays, and we saw the plates from which he probably ate his dinner.  When we got back to our hotel that evening, we were tired, but we had enjoyed a wonderful day. Most of Shakespeare's married life was spent   _  . A) in a cottage B) in an old hotel C) writing new plays and growing flowers D) meeting friends and thinking about ideas for new plays
