Which of the following phrases use the term "to demand" correctly?
There may be more than one correct choice!
This is incorrect. When we buy something online or from a catalogue, we don't "demand" it, we "order", "make an order for" or "place an order for" it.
This is correct. To be "demanding" means to request many things, to be "exacting" or to "expect a lot". It usually refers to somebody who is difficult to please! Example: "I took my husband's socks back to the shop three times! First of all they had too many stripes, then they were too tight, then too long. He is so demanding!"
This is a good choice. To "demand" is a stronger way of saying to "request" or "ask for". If somebody "demands" something, it mean they definitely want it to happen! Example: "I demand an answer! I'm not asking you politely any more!".
This is incorrect. We "ask" a question. Example: "He asked, Will you marry me?". We also "ask someone to do something". For example, "I've asked you a million times to stop exaggerating!"

Luna has written a letter to the cleaning company. Complete the letter below with the most appropriate words or phrases.
Dear Sir or Madam,
the standard of service the cleaner you sent us, Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús, is totally . Here are but two reasons for our dissatisfaction.
-He doesn't clean. I'm not sure if this is because he doesn't know how, or he just doesn't want to.
-Since he started working here, our once-manageable rodent problem has become out of control, and we've been forced to exterminators to resolve the problem.
Before you offer to replace Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús with another one of your employees, I should let you know that the Delavigne Corporation will be using your company to meet our cleansing needs. I remind you that the cleaner you sent us was caught stealing the office plants, the one before her was discovered hiding under the desk of our marketing director, trying to look up her skirt, and the gentleman before that had to be brought down from the roof by the police. Our CEO kindly decided not to press charges, but I fear that one more such incident would tip the balance.
It is therefore my obligation you that the contract between our two companies is terminated.
Thank you for your understanding,
Regards,
Luna DeLune

Our CEO kindly decided not to press charges, but I fear that one more such incident would tip the balance.

1 I regret to inform you that: "I regret to inform you..." is a common, polite way to introduce bad news, and is the best choice here. An example: "We regret to inform our customers that we will no longer be selling apples".
1 I have the pleasure of informing you that: It does not make sense to introduce bad news with a positive statement such as this.
1 I would like to know if: Luna is not asking anything, so a question construction doesn't make sense.
2 provided by: "Provided by" is the best choice here. To "provide" a service is to supply it to someone. This sentence uses a passive construction. Example: "Sandwiches were provided by the organisers of the event".
2 monitored by: To "monitor (a situation)" is to "observe" or "survey" it. This does not make sense here.
2 esteemed by: To "esteem" someone is to "respect" them or "hold them in high regard". This does not make sense here.
3 unsatisfactory: "Unsatisfactory" is the best choice here. "Unsatisfactory" service is "inadequate" or "not good enough". Example: "Michael's behaviour at school is unsatisfactory".
3 radical: The term "radical" shares a similar meaning with "extreme". It can also mean "cool" or "excellent" when used by surfers. It is inappropriate here.
3 unsatisfying: Something which is "unsatisfying" leaves us "hungry" or "unfulfilled". It does not make sense here.
3 satisfactionless: This term does not exist.
4 hire: "Hire" is the best choice here. To "hire" someone is to "employ" them or "provide work" for them. Example: "Andrew has hired a cleaner to help him keep his house tidy".
4 fire: To "fire" someone is to "dismiss" or "sack" them. This does not make sense here.
4 release: To "release" something is to "set it free" or "liberate it". This does not make sense here.
5 no longer: The expression "no longer" shares a similar meaning with "no more" or "not any more", meaning that something has ended or stopped. Example: "I will no longer be eating cheese: I'm going vegan".
5 longer: The term "longer" means "more long", and it does not make sense here.
5 more: "More" means "additionally", and does not make sense here.
6 previous: "Previous" is the best answer here. The term "previous" shares a similar meaning with "former" or "past". In this context, Luna is referring to the cleaner who used to work at Delavigne in the past. Example: "Miriam's previous boyfriends were all slightly strange".
6 earliest: The term "earliest" means "first", chronologically. It does not make sense here.
6 following: The term "following" means "coming after or later". It is quite the opposite of the word Luna needs here.
6 ancient: The term "ancient" means "very old", and is not appropriate here.
7 to inform: "To inform" someone of something is to "tell them about it". The construction "it is my obligation to inform you that..." is a useful, formal phrase to introduce an official piece of news. Example: "It is my obligation to inform you that anything you say may be used in evidence in court".
7 to ask: "Ask" does not make sense here. Luna is making a statement; she is not asking a question.
7 to say: It does not make sense to use "to say" here. It is grammatically incorrect to "say someone something". Moreover, "to say" refers to spoken language, not letters.
7 to regret: To "regret (an event)" is to feel sorry or sad that it happened. This term does not make sense here.
8 hereby: "Hereby" is the best choice here. This little word means "by this document" or "as a result of this letter". Luna is saying that her letter serves as notice that the contract between Delavigne and the cleaning company has been ended. Another example: "I hereby resign from my job at this company".
8 by here: "By here" is a very colloquial expression meaning "around here". It does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
8 thereby: The term "thereby" refers to an action which is distant in time or space. It means "by that document" or "as a result of that letter". Since Luna is writing her own letter, we need the closer term: "hereby".
8 hypothetically: The term "hypothetically" means "in principle" or "in theory". It does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
