  1. A paragraph says: 'Carlos missed three days of work without calling in. His supervisor warned him that a fourth absence could result in termination.' What does 'termination' most likely mean in this context?

    Answer: Being fired from the job

  2. A text message reads: 'Your appointment has been rescheduled to Friday at 2 PM. Please confirm by replying YES.' What action is the reader being asked to take?

    Answer: Store water in advance, since it will be off at 10 AM

    The shutdown runs from 9 AM to 1 PM, so 10 AM is within the outage window; storing water beforehand is the practical solution.
