@Idon'tknowwhoIam. I know it may not seem helpful to ask this question, but if you yourself don't understand what those terms mean (you're unable to recognize which is which), what use is this to you?

For those that are having trouble reading the image - "i before e. Except when your foreign neighbor Keith received eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters. Weird." English is hard even for native speakers :)
