The comment is hard to read because there is no formatting, so I re-wrote the question here. Here's a suggestion about the way you worded your question: Answer the QUESTION (not "questions" because there is only one question), [leave a blank space after the comma] using the words and phrases given in brackets. [Actually there are no phrases, just 4 single words] Answer the question using the words given in brackets. Also you do not need a comma between "Hey" and "Joe!" Use a space after the exclamation mark after "Joe!". Hey Joe! How is your new job? The salary is wonderful and the job duties are light. Friends, WHAT (not "how") do you think of this question? I think it's a good question.
