It is my pleasure to inform 1 you that you have been selected to respond 2 to an important survey. Delavigne Corp. needs to know all about your nose, to help us determine what our next new fragrance should be! Your task will be to rate 3 several different scents on a scale from one to ten thousand.
1 inform: This is the correct answer. "To inform" is a verb meaning "to give or provide information (to someone)" or "to make (someone) aware of something. In this case, you are informing the person who receives your letter that you want something from them: their help. You could also say, 'I hate to inform you of this, honey, but we are completely broke - we have no money at all, anymore".
2 respond: This is the correct answer. To "respond to" something is to "provide an answer to or thoughts about" that thing. You "respond to" a survey, or any other question or set of questions. You can also "respond to" an issue or concern. For example, "The way you respond to the topic of psychoanalysis makes me think you might be crazy".
3 rate: This is the correct answer. To "rate" something is to assign it a value. A person "rates" things (anything from perfume to socks to movies and more) "on a scale". In this case, on a (kind of ridiculous) "scale from one to ten thousand". For instance, you might want to rate your importance to the company you work for as a ten, on a scale from one to ten. Or else you might rate your contributions, as Luna rates Brian's, as "very good".
