Sonja,I think it's time for us to open a new location. We've been talking about doing it forever and I'm afraid that if we don't do it now, we'll never do it. I know it's a risky move, but the only way our business is going to grow is if we take calculated risks. Business has never been better, and our focus group data shows that people in Springdale would love to have one of our stores in their mall. If we do this right, we can be twice as profitable as we are now in three years. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Gabriela PS: We can even announce the expansion after that Channel 4 puff piece airs to take advantage of the attention we'll be getting! Based on the tone of the memo above, which of the following best describes Sonja and Gabriela's relationship?

A. Gabriela is Sonja's boss

B. Sonja is Gabriela's boss

C. Sonja and Gabriela work in the Human Resources Department together

D. Sonja and Gabriela run the business together

Answer Explanation:

The tone of the passage is informal and friendly which supports the inference that Sonja and Gabriel run the business together

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #3: Swimming has developed from a primal mode of movement to an advanced hobby and competitive sport. Exercising nearly every muscle group, swimming is a rigorous sport and requires intense training. In competitions swimmers typically contend for the fastest time to complete a certain distance by performing a specific swimming stroke. Also, swimmers work to build endurance and an ability to swim over long distances. Because swimming has developed into a highly intricate competitive sport, where one wrong technique can disqualify a participant, it is interesting to ponder how the sport will evolve for people in the future, either advancing into a progressive purpose or regressing to a primal mode of movement.   The structure of this passage could be best described in what way?

    A. an activity narrowed to a specific purpose and expanded to consider future implications
