  1. A job application asks for 'three professional references.' Which of the following is the BEST choice for a reference?

    Answer: A former supervisor from a previous job

    A professional reference should be someone who can speak to your work skills and performance, such as a former supervisor.

  2. A bank statement shows a 'NSF Fee: $35.' What does this fee most likely indicate?

    Answer: A penalty for a check or payment that bounced due to insufficient funds

    NSF stands for Non-Sufficient Funds, meaning a payment was returned because the account lacked the money to cover it.

  3. A tenant notice reads: 'Your lease expires on August 31. Please provide 30 days written notice if you intend to vacate.' By what date must notice be given to vacate on August 31?

    Answer: July 31

    30 days before August 31 is July 31, which is the last day to submit written notice.

  4. A prescription label reads: 'Take with food. Avoid alcohol. Do not operate heavy machinery.' A patient takes the medication and then drives a forklift at work. What rule are they breaking?

    Answer: Do not operate heavy machinery

    A forklift is heavy machinery, so operating it violates the label's instruction not to operate heavy machinery.

  5. A grocery receipt shows: 'Subtotal $48.20 | Tax (8%) $3.86 | Coupon –$5.00 | Total $47.06.' What was the coupon applied to?

    Answer: The final total after tax

    $48.20 + $3.86 = $52.06, minus the $5.00 coupon equals $47.06, so the coupon was applied after tax.

  6. A community center flyer reads: 'Free ESL Classes — Mondays and Wednesdays, 6–8 PM. Registration required. Space limited.' What must you do before attending?

    Answer: Register in advance to secure a spot

    The flyer states registration is required and space is limited, so you must register before attending.

  7. An electric bill includes: 'Budget Billing Plan: Your monthly amount is $95 based on your average usage. Actual usage is tracked and reconciled annually.' What is true about this plan?

    Answer: You pay a fixed amount each month, with any difference settled once a year

    Budget billing sets a fixed monthly payment based on average use, with differences reconciled at year-end.
