B is responding to A's question by negating the statement. The correct answer "isn't" is the contraction of "is not," indicating that the person in question is not from China.

In this greeting, the speaker introduces themselves as Craig and expresses their pleasure in meeting the other person. The phrase "Nice to meet you" is commonly used when meeting someone for the first time, indicating that the speaker is meeting the other person for the first time.

In response to the question "Is he a teacher?", the correct answer "is" confirms that he is indeed a teacher.

The correct answer is "she's". This is because the question is asking about the occupation or job of a female person, and "she's" is the contraction of "she is", which is used to describe someone's occupation or job.

The correct answer is "Good morning! It's a pleasure to meet you." This is a formal greeting because it uses polite language and expresses a sense of respect and courtesy. The other options, such as "What's going on?", "What's happening?", "Yo! What's up?", "Hey!", and "Hi!", are more casual and informal greetings.

In the phrase "Nice to meet you," the word "to" does not cause the voice to go up. In English, when we ask a question or express surprise or uncertainty, our voice typically goes up at the end of the sentence. However, in this phrase, the word "to" is not a question or an expression of surprise, so the voice does not go up when saying it.

In the phrase "Nice to meet you, too!", the voice goes up on each word except for "to" and "you". When saying "Nice to meet you", the voice goes up on "Nice" and "meet" to show enthusiasm and friendliness. However, when saying "to" and "you", the voice does not go up as these words are neutral and do not require emphasis. Therefore, in the phrase "Nice to meet you, too!", the voice does not go up on "to" and "you".

The correct pronunciation of the underlined word "You're" is "Youruh."

The correct pronunciation of the underlined words "I'm a student" is "Imuh."

The question asks for an informal greeting, and the options provided are "What's going on?", "What's happening?", "Hello!", and "What's up?". All of the options except "Hello!" are informal greetings commonly used in casual conversations. "Hello!" is a formal greeting and does not fit the criteria of an informal greeting.
