- C.
  
  C. Work for a different dentist
- D.
  
  D. Buy lottery tickets
Correct Answer
A. The most immediately effect on her money problems? A. Spend less

Explanation
Marjorie's immediate solution to her money problems would be to spend less. By reducing her expenses, she can start saving money and use it to pay off her debt. This will help her gradually improve her financial situation. Going back to college or working for a different dentist may have long-term benefits but will not provide an immediate solution to her current debt. Buying lottery tickets is a risky and unreliable solution that is unlikely to solve her money problems.

Teams are more effective than individuals at solving problems because teams generally:
- A.
  
  A. Make higher quality decisions.
- B.
  
  B. Consider only one point of view.
- C.
  
  C. Make quick, impulsive decisions.
- D.
  
  D. Consider only one possible solution.

A. A. Make higher quality decisions.

Explanation
Teams are more effective than individuals at solving problems because they have the advantage of diverse perspectives and expertise. When individuals work together in a team, they can pool their knowledge and skills, leading to a higher quality decision-making process. By considering different viewpoints, teams are more likely to identify potential flaws or limitations in their thinking and come up with more comprehensive and well-rounded solutions. This collaborative approach also allows for better evaluation of different options and reduces the risk of impulsive decisions. Therefore, the ability of teams to make higher quality decisions is a key factor in their effectiveness in problem-solving.

- D.
  
  D. The project will be incomplete and late.
Correct Answer
D. D. The project will be incomplete and late.

If no one takes a leadership role in the group project, it is likely that there will be a lack of organization and coordination. Without someone to guide and delegate tasks, the group members may not work together efficiently or prioritize their responsibilities. This can lead to a lack of progress and productivity, resulting in an incomplete project. Additionally, without a leader to keep track of deadlines and ensure timely progress, the project is also likely to be late.

  C. Gestures to emphasize your message
- D.

This non-verbal cue can also help to reinforce key points, create visual interest, and establish a connection with the audience. Arms folded across the chest, random swaying, or hands in pockets can all be seen as negative or disengaged body language, which can detract from the effectiveness of the presentation.

Correct Answer
D. D. The apprentice works with a journeyman and gets hands-on training

Explanation
The main benefit of participating in an apprenticeship program is that the apprentice works with a journeyman and receives hands-on training. This allows them to gain practical experience and learn directly from someone who is experienced in the field. This type of training is valuable as it provides real-world skills and knowledge that cannot be obtained through formal schooling or classes alone. It also allows the apprentice to develop a mentorship relationship with the journeyman, which can provide guidance and support throughout their career.

Jeff wanted to become a Fire Fighter and was told that he would need to learn more occupational skills before he would be seriously considered for a position. What option would BEST supply Jeff with the skills he needs?
- A.
  
  A. Enroll in a community college
- B.
  
  B. Job shadow at a fire station
- C.
  
  C. Enroll in a Fire Science training program
- D.
  
  D. Interview fire fighters
Correct Answer
C. C. Enroll in a Fire Science training program

Explanation
Enrolling in a Fire Science training program would be the best option for Jeff to acquire the skills he needs to become a Fire Fighter. This program would provide him with specialized training and knowledge specific to the field of firefighting, preparing him for the responsibilities and challenges he would face in the profession. Job shadowing at a fire station and interviewing firefighters may provide some insight into the job, but they would not offer the comprehensive training and skills development that a Fire Science training program would provide. Enrolling in a community college may offer some relevant courses, but it would not be as focused or specialized as a Fire Science training program.
