Solution
The question is testing for word usage between right, write, and rite.
If you're taking a math test and you get the answer "42" when it should be "24," your teacher might circle it in red pen and write "wrong!" next to it. But if you got "24," she'd probably put a checkmark because that's the right answer - meaning the correct or proper one.
When you sit down with a pen and paper to jot down your grocery list or compose a love letter, you write. It's the physical act of forming letters and words, whether you're scribbling notes in the margins of your textbook or crafting the next great American novel.
A rite is like a special ceremony or ritual that has deep meaning. Think of graduation day - walking across the stage to receive your diploma is a rite of passage that marks your transition from student to graduate. It's more formal and ceremonial than just any old routine.
Option 1 -> Uses "right" correctly to mean the proper or correct way to greet customers.
Option 2 -> Incorrectly uses "write" when it should be "right" - the slogan should be "Get it right the first time."
Option 3 -> Uses "Right" correctly to refer to the right side of the road (opposite of left side).
Option 4 -> Uses "rite" correctly to describe the ceremonial practice of afternoon tea.
Hence, Option 2 is correct.
