Hi; Thanks for the sample test, but I'd ike to inform you that the correct word for the sentance is "ethics" and this word was not included in the list.
Your choice of the word "Practice" is incorrect. The words practice is a noun and refers to companies such as lawyer and doctors states of business.
e.g. The doctors practice was flourishing with so many new clients. /or John , a lawyer was proud to have his own legal prtactice after so many years of articling for other legal firms. /or in the context of sports... The boys' had to practice football three times a day.

Code of Ethics is often used to describe the standard procedures in professions that deal with the public such as journalists, lawyers and politicians.
As we explained earlier, Code of Practice is a term that defines the principles business is conducted by companies. Maybe, you already know that a word in the English language can have many different meanings depending on the context you use it in. Try to get access to a dictionary and look up the word practice. You will find many entries and definitions and one of the possible combinations is Code of Practice.

Also, in the sample sentence (please note the correct spelling of that word), you are using the word practice as a verb although you are claiming that practice is a noun. It can be a noun as well as a verb in American English. In UK English practice is a noun and to practise is the verb.
Many thanks for bringing up the Code of Practice issue again.

Well, this is a very interesting discussion. I have checked with our company and it turns out that we have a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in place. So, this shows how many possible word combinations there are available.
