  1. A paragraph says: 'The community center will host a job fair on Saturday. Bring copies of your resume and dress professionally.' Which item is NOT mentioned as something to bring?

    Answer: A reference letter

    The paragraph mentions bringing resume copies and dressing professionally, but says nothing about a reference letter.

  2. A text reads: 'The store accepts returns within 30 days with a receipt. Without a receipt, only store credit is given.' A customer returns an item on day 35 with a receipt. What will she most likely receive?

    Answer: Store credit only, or the return may be denied

    The 30-day window has passed, so the standard receipt policy no longer applies; the store will likely offer credit or deny the return.

  3. A passage states: 'David applied for a loan. The bank said his credit score was too low to qualify.' What can David most likely do to improve his chances in the future?

    Answer: Work on improving his credit score before reapplying

    Since the bank cited a low credit score as the problem, improving that score is the most logical way to qualify in the future.

  4. A sign reads: 'This elevator is out of service. Please use the stairs.' A person in a wheelchair cannot use stairs. What is the BEST conclusion?

    Answer: She should seek assistance or ask about an accessible alternative

    When the standard alternatives are not accessible, the best approach is to seek assistance or find an accessible option.

  5. A paragraph reads: 'Many adults return to school to improve job prospects. Studies show that workers with more education generally earn higher wages.' What is the main idea?

    Answer: Education can lead to better employment and higher pay

    The paragraph's central point is that more education improves job prospects and earning potential for adults.

  6. A notice says: 'Tenants must recycle cardboard, plastic, and glass. Fines of $25 will be issued for non-compliance.' A tenant throws a glass bottle in the trash. What may happen?

    Answer: She may be fined $25 for violating the recycling rule

    The notice states that fines will be issued for non-compliance, with no exception for single items.

  7. A work schedule shows: 'Week 1: Mon–Wed. Week 2: Thu–Sat. Employees rotate every two weeks.' An employee is working Week 1. When will she next work a Thursday?

    Answer: Next week (Week 2)

    She is currently on Week 1 (Mon–Wed); the very next week (Week 2) includes Thursday through Saturday.
