Explanatory Answers
1.
(B)
Previous means coming or occurring
before something else.
2.
(C)
To verify means to prove or to determine
the truth or correctness of something.
3.
(D)
Option means something that may be or
is chosen.
4.
(D)
The correct answer, D, is supported by
the paragraph's statement that a collection
letter should show clear organization and
should be written with a specific end in view.
There is nothing in the paragraph to support
alternatives A or E. Although the paragraph
does imply that collection letters may contain
several paragraphs (alternative B), it does not
state that they should always be so divided.
Also, the paragraph says nothing about the
length or tone of a collection letter (alternative
C); it only refers to the letter's clarity of
thought and organization.
5.
(A)
The correct answer, A, is supported by
the paragraph's statement that instructing
mechanics in safety rules can help prevent
industrial accidents, which implies that in some
cases accidents may be due to ignorance of
these rules. The paragraph does not support
the statements that, in actual practice, indus-
trial accidents are either always avoidable (al-
ternative B) or cannot be entirely overcome
(alternative D); it merely states the require-
ments of successful accident prevention.
Although the paragraph does imply that indus-
trial accidents can be caused by unsafe
machinery (alternative C) and inadequate light-
ing (alternative E), it does not support the
statements that such accidents usually result
from these causes.
6.
(C)
The correct answer, C, is supported by
the paragraph's statement that, although ad-
vertising gives manufacturers considerable
control over the consumers' demands for their
products, there are still big risks involved in
producing and distributing their goods in ad-
vance of the consumers' final selection. This
implies that manufacturers' ultimate success
depends on the consumers. The paragraph's
statement that there are such risks, in spite of
advertising, contradicts alternatives A and D.
There also is no support for the statements that
manufacturers distribute goods directly to con-
sumers (alternative B) or that they are more
concerned with advertising than production
(alternative E).
7.
(E)
Alternative A is incorrect because the
word have should have been used instead of
the word of. Alternative B is incorrect because
the word those should have been used instead
of the word them. Alternative C is incorrect
because the word that should have been used
instead of the word what. Alternative D is
incorrect because the phrase had have is incor-
rect grammar; only the word had should have
been used.
8.
(C)
Alternative A is incorrect because the
word fewer should have been used instead of
the word less. Alternative B is incorrect be-
cause poor word usage makes it seem as if he
refers to the training course. Alternative D is
incorrect because the word few should have
been used instead of the phrase hardly any.
Alternative E is incorrect because it is poor
usage for the word ever to follow the word
seldom.
