Correct Answer: corrections to the artwork before printing
Passage Reference: Thank you for sending the artwork for our elements display. Most of it is ready to print, but the phosphorus panel needs two corrections.
Why this is correct: George asks Imani to fix the symbol and the heading and keep the reactivity sentence. She must also remove the old touch invitation and fit the labels to the holders. All this must happen before the file goes to the printer. So the message mainly asks for corrections to the artwork before printing.
Tips: For a question about what a whole message asks for, look at the requests in every paragraph. Ask what they all have in common.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a real phosphorus sample for the case: The case will hold photographs and a sealed teaching model, not an actual phosphorus sample.
- larger paper for all the labels: George says the labels must fit the existing holders, so the paper size must not increase.
- a later deadline for the corrections: George needs the file by three on Wednesday and says the corrections cannot wait until Friday.
Correct Answer: photographs and a teaching model
Passage Reference: For this exhibition, the display case will contain photographs and a sealed teaching model, not an actual phosphorus sample.
Why this is correct: The case will contain photographs and a teaching model. George says there will be no real phosphorus sample.
Tips: List the two display objects, then respect the contrast excluding real phosphorus.
Why the other options are wrong:
- photographs and an uncovered sample: An uncovered sample contradicts the statement that no actual phosphorus sample will be displayed.
- a teaching model and a collection of rocks: Rocks belong to the earlier exhibition mentioned only to explain the mistaken invitation.
- a sealed sample and visitor information: The model is sealed, but it is a teaching model rather than a sealed sample of phosphorus.
Correct Answer: it belongs to a different display
Passage Reference: Please remove the draft invitation asking visitors to touch the material, as it refers to an earlier display about rocks.
Why this is correct: The invitation belongs to an earlier display about rocks. It is not part of the current elements exhibition.
Tips: Identify what the pronoun 'it' in the reason refers to: the draft touch invitation.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the educator has not approved any display: The educator has already approved the photograph-and-model arrangement, so lack of approval is not the issue.
- visitors must request permission before touching it: George says to remove the invitation entirely, not keep it with a permission requirement.
- the label holders leave too little space for it: Label-holder size affects the panel layout and has nothing to do with the old rocks invitation.
Correct Answer: the decorative border
Passage Reference: If space is tight, reduce the decorative border rather than make the text smaller.
Why this is correct: George says to reduce the decorative border when space is tight. This keeps the words easy to read.
Tips: Find George's advice for when space is tight. Read the whole sentence, because it names one thing to cut and one to keep.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the size of the label paper: The paper must fit the existing holders. George tells Imani to trim the border instead of changing the paper size.
- the size of the lettering: Making the lettering smaller would harm legibility and is the rejected solution.
- the explanatory sentence: The reactivity explanation must remain because it explains why there is no loose sample.
Correct Answer: printing requires two working days
Passage Reference: The printer needs two working days, so we cannot leave the corrections until Friday.
Why this is correct: The printer needs two working days. George therefore asks for the corrections on Wednesday rather than waiting until Friday.
Tips: A deadline often comes with a reason. Find the sentence that explains why Friday is too late.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the existing holders must be replaced on Thursday: The holders already exist and are not scheduled for replacement on Thursday.
- the exhibition opens on Wednesday evening: The message does not say the exhibition opens on Wednesday evening.
- the educator can review files only on Wednesday: Salma can answer science questions, but her availability does not create the Wednesday cutoff.
Correct Answer: Salma
Passage Reference: I have copied our educator, Salma, into this message. She can answer any questions about scientific wording, while I will handle layout and delivery arrangements.
Why this is correct: Salma is the museum educator copied into the message. She is responsible for questions about scientific wording.
Tips: George names two people and splits their jobs. Match the type of question to the person given that job.
Why the other options are wrong:
- George: George will handle layout and delivery, not questions about the science.
- the printer: The printer receives the checked file but is not named as a scientific adviser.
- Imani: Imani is revising the artwork and is told to direct science questions to Salma.
Correct Answer: P
Passage Reference: Its symbol should be P, not F, and the heading should use the spelling 'phosphorus'.
Why this is correct: Imani needs to change the symbol to P. That directly follows George's correction.
Tips: When a reply confirms a correction, choose the new value rather than the draft's old value.
Why the other options are wrong:
- F: F is the symbol George identifies as wrong.
- Ps: Ps is not given as an acceptable phosphorus symbol.
- Ph: Ph is also not supported. The symbol must be the single letter P.
Correct Answer: photographs and a teaching model
Passage Reference: For this exhibition, the display case will contain photographs and a sealed teaching model, not an actual phosphorus sample.
Why this is correct: Imani will explain that the case has photographs and a teaching model. These items replace the actual material in the display.
Tips: Keep the display contents distinct from the real material that will be absent.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a sealed sample and photographs: A sealed phosphorus sample is still an actual sample, which George says the case will not contain.
- a rock collection and a model: The rock collection belongs to another display and should not be carried into this one.
- an uncovered sample and its label: An uncovered sample directly contradicts both the approved teaching-model plan and the safety exclusion.
Correct Answer: the border
Passage Reference: If space is tight, reduce the decorative border rather than make the text smaller.
Why this is correct: Imani should reduce the border if more space is needed. This protects the readable lettering size.
Tips: Connect preserving readability with trimming decoration instead of text or required content.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the paper size: The paper must fit existing holders, so its size should not be changed.
- the explanation: The reactivity explanation must be retained, not reduced or removed.
- the lettering: George says legibility matters more than decoration, so the lettering should not become smaller.
Correct Answer: three on Wednesday
Passage Reference: Please send the revised file to me by three on Wednesday. I will check it and pass it to the printer that evening.
Why this is correct: George asks for the file by three on Wednesday. Imani should confirm that exact deadline.
Tips: Keep the submission time distinct from George's later printer handoff.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Wednesday evening: Wednesday evening is when George plans to send the checked file to the printer, after Imani's earlier deadline.
- Thursday morning: Thursday morning leaves less of the printer's required two working days and misses the stated Wednesday time.
- three on Friday: George clearly says the work cannot be left until Friday.
Correct Answer: Salma
Passage Reference: I have copied our educator, Salma, into this message. She can answer any questions about scientific wording, while I will handle layout and delivery arrangements.
Why this is correct: Imani should send science questions to Salma. George identifies Salma as the educator who handles that topic.
Tips: Use each person's assigned responsibility: science goes to the educator, while layout and delivery go to George.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the delivery team: No delivery team is named as a source of scientific guidance.
- the printer: The printer handles production after approval, not questions about scientific wording.
- the layout coordinator: George is the layout contact, but Salma is the named educator for science questions.
