  1. Label: Take 1 tablet every 6 hours with food. Do not exceed 4 tablets in 24 hours. Keep out of reach of children. Question: How many tablets can you take in one day?

    Answer: 4

    The label explicitly states, "Do not exceed 4 tablets in 24 hours." This instruction sets the maximum dosage permitted within a single day. While it also mentions taking 1 tablet every 6 hours, the overriding limit for a full day is clearly specified as 4 tablets.

  2. Sign: Sale! Buy one, get one 50% off. Applies to shoes only. Question: What does this sign mean?

    Answer: You pay full price for one pair and half price for the second pair.

    The sign "Buy one, get one 50% off" means that when you purchase two items, the first item is at its regular price, and the second item (usually of equal or lesser value) is sold at half its original price. Since the sign specifies "Applies to shoes only," this deal applies specifically to pairs of shoes.

  3. Bill Summary: Electricity Usage: $75.00 Water Usage: $30.00 Trash Removal: $20.00 Total Due: $125.00 Due Date: December 20, 2024. Question: What will happen if you pay only $75.00 by the due date?

    Answer: You will still owe $50.00.

    The bill summary shows a "Total Due: $125.00." If you pay only $75.00, you are paying less than the full amount. Subtracting the payment from the total ($125.00 - $75.00) reveals a remaining balance of $50.00 that will still be owed.

  4. Ad: *Hiring Now: Receptionist (Full-Time) $18/hour Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Must have basic computer skills.* Question: Which of the following is a requirement for this job?

    Answer: Having computer skills.

    The job advertisement clearly lists "Must have basic computer skills" as a requirement for the Receptionist position. This is a mandatory qualification that applicants need to possess to be considered for the job. The other options are not mentioned as necessary skills or conditions.

  5. Label: Serving Size: 1 cup Calories: 150 per serving Sodium: 300 mg Sugars: 12 g Ingredients: Corn, sugar, salt, and natural flavors. Question: What is the main ingredient in this product?

    Answer: Corn

    In an ingredient list, ingredients are typically listed in descending order by weight or quantity. Since "Corn" is the first ingredient listed, it indicates that it is present in the largest amount compared to sugar, salt, and natural flavors. Therefore, corn is the main ingredient.
