    • American, American, British and international English.

    • British, American, American and international English.

    • International, British, international and British English.

    • British, British, international and American English.

    Correct Answer
    A. British, British, international and American English.
    Explanation
    The given answer is British, British, international and American English. This is because the terms "number plate" and "windscreen" are commonly used in British English, while "blinker" is an American English term for the same car part known as "indicator" in British English. The term "trunk" refers to the rear storage compartment of a car, and is predominantly used in American English, whereas in British English it is referred to as the "boot". Therefore, the order in which the terms are listed corresponds to the respective English variations.

    • The headlights are located in front of the car.

    • The brake release is between the front seats.

    Correct Answer
    A. The headlights are located in front of the car.
    Explanation
    The sentence "The headlights are located in front of the car" is grammatically incorrect because it should be "The headlights are located at the front of the car." In this case, "in front of" implies that the headlights are positioned outside the car, which is not accurate.

    Correct Answer
    A. Windscreen, wing, boot and rack.
    Explanation
    The letter that includes only car parts is "windscreen, wing, boot and rack." This is because all the items mentioned in this letter are commonly associated with cars. The windscreen is a part of the car's front window, the wing refers to the car's fender, the boot is the trunk of the car, and the rack could refer to a roof rack or bike rack commonly found on cars.
