Fill in: 'We ___ an out-of-office autoresponder before leaving for vacation, rather than letting urgent emails sit unanswered that nobody's actually rerouted.'
We 'set an autoresponder' — the standard, simple collocation for configuring an out-of-office reply. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Forgetting to name a backup contact in the autoresponder can ___ an urgent request stalled for a week nobody's actually covering.'
We say a missing backup contact will 'leave' a request stalled — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting delay. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a backup contact explicitly in the message, rather than a vague 'check back later' nobody can actually act on.'
We 'include a contact' — the standard, simple collocation for naming who to reach while someone's away. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every autoresponder's return date against the actual calendar, rather than a message nobody's actually updated after a trip extension.'
We 'check a return date' — the standard, simple collocation for keeping an out-of-office message accurate. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the autoresponder promptly on return, rather than leaving it active for days nobody's actually noticed is stale.'
We 'turn off an autoresponder' — the standard, simple collocation for disabling an out-of-office reply after returning. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
