Exercise 1
True or false? Guests at the child's christening ceremony should come with at least one present.
True or false? Guests at the child's christening ceremony should come with at least one present.
This is a true statement. Bob writes that "if any of you would like to attend (the baptism), you'll be expected to bring at least one gift". Bob is requesting that his guests bring at least one gift with them. "Baptism" and "christening" share the same meaning: a Christian ceremony, usually involving infants, in which one is accepted as a member of the Church.
This statement is not false.
