  1. Examine the following two address records and determine if they match: Record 1: 2847 Westbrook Lane, Unit 5C, Portland, OR 97201 Record 2: 2847 Westbrook Lane, Unit 5C, Portland, OR 97201

    Answer: The records are identical

    Both records are exactly the same in every component including unit number, city, state, and ZIP code.

  2. Compare these mailing records: Record 1: James Hoffman, Apt 22B, 556 River Road Record 2: James Hoffman, Apt 22D, 556 River Road Where is the discrepancy?

    Answer: The apartment number contains an error

    The apartment letter differs between the records: Record 1 shows 'Apt 22B' while Record 2 shows 'Apt 22D,' indicating a letter substitution error.

  3. A data entry clerk types 'Suite 4B' when the original document shows 'Suite 48.' This is an example of:

    Answer: An alphanumeric substitution error

    The digit '8' was replaced with the visually similar letter 'B,' making this an alphanumeric substitution where a number was swapped for a letter.

  4. Compare these two business address records: Original: 1500 Commerce Dr, Bldg C, Ste 210 Copy: 1500 Commerce Dr, Bldg C, Ste 201 The type of discrepancy in the suite number is:

    Answer: Transposition of digits in the suite number

    The digits '1' and '0' in suite number '210' are switched to produce '201,' making this a transposition error.

  5. Which of the following pairs of apartment designations matches correctly?

    Answer: Apt 22C vs Apt 22C

    Only 'Apt 22C vs Apt 22C' is an exact match; all other pairs contain letter substitution, digit transposition, or insertion errors.

  6. A mailing record shows 'Unit 8, Floor 12' but the verification copy shows 'Unit 8, Floor 21.' What type of error appears in the floor number?

    Answer: A transposition error

    The digits '1' and '2' in floor number '12' are reversed to '21' in the copy, which is a transposition error.

    Record B is missing the digit '4' from the end of the apartment number, changing '204' to '20' — this is an omission error.
