    Correct Answer
    A. To send
    Explanation
    The sentence is instructing someone to perform an action, which is to send the data by fax immediately. The phrase "to send" is the correct choice as it indicates the purpose or intention of the request. The other options, "sent," "sends," and "send," do not convey the same meaning and would not fit grammatically in the sentence.

    Correct Answer
    A. Passive
    Explanation
    The given construction "The top floor was destroyed by Jack" is in the passive voice. In a passive construction, the subject of the sentence receives the action rather than performing it.

    Correct Answer
    A. Incomplete sentence
    Explanation
    The given sentence "That old woman who lost all her hair" is not complete because it lacks a main verb. It is a dependent clause or a subordinate clause that provides additional information about the old woman but does not express a complete thought on its own. A complete sentence requires a subject and a predicate (verb) to convey a clear message or idea.
