      Own a suitable vehicle for delivery.

    Correct Answer
    B. Deliver goods all over the country.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Deliver goods all over the country." This is because the quoted text states that Finefoods requires an agent for nationwide distribution. This implies that the agent's main responsibility would be to deliver goods all over the country. The mention of a refrigerated van being provided further supports this explanation, as it suggests that the agent would be responsible for transporting perishable food items.

Therefore, soap is the most appropriate analogy for cleaning in this context.

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    • C.

      Neither True or False (No rational argument)

    Correct Answer
    C. Neither True or False (No rational argument)
    Explanation
    The final statement "Black haired people are kind. I am kind. I have black hair." cannot be determined as true or false based on the given information. The first two statements establish a correlation between black-haired people and kindness, and the fact that the person making the statement is kind. However, it does not provide enough evidence to conclude that the person making the statement has black hair. Therefore, there is no rational argument to support the final statement as true or false.

      $1.50

    • E.

      $30.00

    Correct Answer
    B. $1.80
    Explanation
    To find the cost of 30 cookies, we can set up a proportion. If 5 cookies cost $0.30, then we can say that 1 cookie costs $0.30/5 = $0.06. Therefore, 30 cookies will cost 30 * $0.06 = $1.80.

      49

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    If Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam, and they have a total of 56 marbles together, we can set up the equation 6x + x = 56, where x represents the number of marbles Sam has. Simplifying this equation gives us 7x = 56, and dividing both sides by 7 gives x = 8. Therefore, Sam has 8 marbles.

    Based on the given information, Tanya is older than Eric and Cliff is older than Tanya. However, it is also stated that Eric is older than Cliff.
