1 whiteboard: A "whiteboard" is a panel (usually mounted on the wall) covered with white, glossy plastic for writing on with erasable markers and pens. Edward writes that "Kevin uses [the] meeting room whiteboard" and that he and Jean leave "without wiping the whiteboard". To "wipe (a whiteboard)" is to erase the ink of pens from it.
1 flipchart: This is incorrect. "Flipcharts" can be written on with pens, but the paper surface of a flipchart means that the marks cannot be cleaned with a cloth.
1 blackboard: This is incorrect. A "blackboard" is a dark-coloured surface. Chalk is used for writing on blackboards, not pens.
2 flipchart: A "flipchart" is a large pad of paper mounted on a stand. It is used when giving lectures, or noting down ideas in meetings, for example. The sheet of paper can be turned over (or "flipped") when it has been used. Because it is made of paper, it can't be wiped clean like a "whiteboard".
2 blackboard: This is incorrect. A "blackboard" is a dark-coloured surface, not generally made of paper. Chalk is used for writing on blackboards, not pens.
2 whiteboard: This is incorrect. A "whiteboard" is a light-coloured surface, not generally made of paper.
3 blackboard: A "blackboard" is a dark-coloured panel, used for writing or drawing on with chalk, especially in teaching. "Chalk" is a substance used for drawing on surfaces, it is made of a soft material and is usually white. Chalk for blackboards are usually small sticks that come in many colours.
3 whiteboard: This is incorrect. A "whiteboard" is a light-coloured surface. Pens are used for writing on whiteboards, not chalk.
3 flipchart: This is incorrect. "Flipcharts" are stands that hold a pad of paper. These can be written on with pens.
