    B mission school teacher convinced Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C of her vacation to provide Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D support for her schoolgirl pupils Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word ‘vacation’ is incorrect here. It means ‘a time when someone does not go to work or school but is free to do what they want, such as travel or relax’. The correct word is ‘vocation’, which means ‘a type of work that you feel you are suited to doing and to which you should give all your time and energy, or the feeling that a type of work suits you in this way’. Diana was a young mission school teacher convinced of her vocation to provide support for her schoolgirl pupils.
