Question 11. Applying for Seasonal Employment occurs when a person requests to be considered for a job that is dependent on a particular season or time of year. Which situation below is the best example of Applying for Seasonal Employment?

The ski instructors at Top of the Peak Ski School work from December through March.
Matthew prefers jobs that allow him to work outdoors.
Lucinda makes an appointment with the beach resort restaurant manager to interview for the summer waitressing position that was advertised in the newspaper.
Doug's ice cream shop stays open until 11 p.m. during the summer months.

Discuss Question

Answer: Option C. -> Lucinda makes an appointment with the beach resort restaurant manager to interview for the summer waitressing position that was advertised in the newspaper.

Although the ski instructors at Top of the Peak Ski School do work seasonally, choice a does not describe anyone applying for seasonal employment. In choice b, the statement that Matthew likes to work outdoors tells us nothing about seasonal employment or someone applying for it. And although choice d describes a business with seasonal hours, it does not describe a person applying for seasonal work. Choice c, on the other hand, very specifically depicts a person, Lucinda, who is applying for a job as a summer waitress at a beach resort, which is dependent upon a particular season of the year.

After finding out about his promotion, Jeremy and a few coworkers decide to go out for a quick drink after work.
Mary sends out 25 invitations for the bridal shower she is giving for her sister.
Whenever she eats at the Mexican restaurant, Clara seems to run into Peter.

Discuss Question

Answer: Option B. -> After finding out about his promotion, Jeremy and a few coworkers decide to go out for a quick drink after work.

After getting some good news, Jeremy and a
few friends casually get together for a drink after work, thereby having an informal gathering. Choices a and c describe more formal types of gatherings. Choice d describes a chance or coincidental kind of meeting.

Question 13. The rules of baseball state that a batter Legally Completes His Time at Bat when he is put out or becomes a base runner. Which situation below is the best example of a batter Legally Completing His Time at Bat?

Jared's blooper over the head of the shortstop puts him in scoring position.
The umpire calls a strike, even though the last pitch was way outside.
The pitcher throws his famous knuckleball, Joe swings and misses, and the umpire calls a strike.
The count is two balls and two strikes as Mario waits for the next pitch.

Discuss Question

Answer: Option A. -> Jared's blooper over the head of the shortstop puts him in scoring position.

The fact that Jared is in scoring position due to his blooper indicates that he has hit the ball and is now a base runner; therefore, he has legally completed his time at bat. Choices b and c both describe situations in which a strike is called, but they do not state that the batter has been put out or that he is now a base runner.
Choice d describes a situation in which the batter, Mario, is still at the plate waiting for the next pitch.

Question 14. In the Maple Hill school district, a Five-Day Suspension occurs when a student is not permitted to attend school for five days for (1) physically assaulting another student, a teacher, or a school employee or (2) willfully destructing or defacing school property. Which situation below is the best example of
a Five-Day Suspension?

Lillian gets caught cheating on a math test for the second time and is suspended from school.
Marc is asked to leave the classroom due to his constant disruptions.
Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension.
Ms. Farmer tells her class that students who fail the midterm exam will be expected to stay after school for tutoring help.

Discuss Question

Answer: Option C. -> Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension.

Although choices a and c both describe suspensions, only choice c describes a suspension that is the result of one of the two scenarios given in the definition of a five-day suspension (physical assault or destructing or defacing school property). Therefore, we can assume that Franny's suspension, which is the result of spray painting school property, will be a five day
suspension. Since the definition doesn't
provide any information about suspensions for cheating, we can assume that Lillian's suspension does not fall into the five-day suspension category.
