Read each definition and all four choices carefully, and find the answer that provides the best example of the given definition.

Question 11

A Guarantee is a promise or assurance that attests to the quality of a product that is either (1) given in writing by the manufacturer or (2) given verbally by the person selling the product. Which situation below is the best example of a Guarantee?

A
Melissa purchases a DVD player with the highest consumer ratings in its category.
B
The salesperson advises Curt to be sure that he buys an air conditioner with a guarantee.
C
The local auto body shop specializes in refurbishing and selling used cars.
D
Lori buys a used digital camera from her coworker who says that she will refund Lori's money if the camera's performance is not of the highest quality.
Correct Answer: Option D

Choices a, b, and c do not describe situations in which a product is guaranteed. Only choice d reflects a situation in which a seller attests to the quality of a product by giving the buyer a promise or assurance about its quality.

Question 12

Erratic Behavior occurs when an individual acts in a manner that lacks consistency, regularity, and uniformity. Which situation below is the best example of Erratic Behavior?

A
Julia cannot contain her anger whenever the subject of local politics is discussed.
B
Martin has just been told that he is being laid off. Before leaving his supervisor's office, he punches a hole in the door.
C
Rhonda has visited the dealership several times, but she still cannot decide which car to buy.
D
In the past month, Jeffrey, who has been a model employee for three years, has repeatedly called in sick, forgotten important meetings, and been verbally abusive to colleagues.
Correct Answer: Option D

Jeffrey's recent behavior is clearly inconsistent and irregular.

Question 13

A Tiebreaker is an additional contest or period of play designed to establish a winner among tied contestants. Which situation below is the best example of a Tiebreaker?

A
At halftime, the score is tied at 28.
B
Mary and Megan have each scored three goals in the game.
C
The referee tosses a coin to decide which team will have possession of the ball first.
D
The Sharks and the Bears each finished with 14 points, and they are now battling it out in a five-minute overtime.
Correct Answer: Option D

This is the only choice that indicates that an additional period of play is taking place to determine the winner of a game that ended in a tie.

Question 14

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?

A
Jared's blooper over the head of the short-stop puts him in scoring position.
B
The umpire calls a strike, even though the last pitch was way outside.
C
The pitcher throws his famous knuckleball, Joe swings and misses, and the umpire calls a strike.
D
The count is two balls and two strikes as Mario waits for the next pitch.
Correct Answer: Option A

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.
