Expression: " Students are permitted..."

Hi

At the top of one English paper the following line was written:

" Students are permitted to use dictionary."

I suppose it should be a dictionary since it is no newspaper heading.

What do you think???

Thanks, Conchita!

Could you please explain the use of the following?

'Quite' can be said to show that you agree, like 'exactly' or 'that's right'.

(...): suspension points indicate that the sentence or text is incomplete.

Thanks again, Conchita!

Last question about theis thread.

So could we use quite in this sense in spoken English?

A- "I think we should not go out tonight?"
B- "Quite!"

It it correct?

About my sceond question in the abaove colums, why did you write the incomplete sentence. In other words, why did you drop students and write "...".Any particular reason?
