Question 2 of 5
A pastry chef is organizing the syllabus for a breads class at a local community college. They first want to make sure that the students know about the basic type of equipment used in commercial bread making. After discussing equipment, the chef wishes to teach a few simple lessons on simple dough, including traditional ones and those with ancient grains, and then cover enriched dough in both sweet and savory applications. Given all of these requirements, how should the chef outline the course?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Equipment'. The chef should outline the course starting with equipment used in commercial bread making as it is essential for students to understand the tools necessary before moving on to different types of dough. This approach ensures a structured learning process, building a foundation before progressing to more complex topics like simple dough, traditional and ancient grains, and enriched doughs in sweet and savory applications.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following options best completes the sentence below? The responsibilities of a class president are extensive; ................., she should not become so involved that she neglects her studies.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'however.' The word 'however' is used to contrast or show opposition between two parts of a sentence. In this context, it highlights a shift in focus from the extensive responsibilities of a class president to a warning about not neglecting studies. 'Especially' would not be the best choice here as it does not provide the needed contrast. 'Therefore' would imply a conclusion rather than a contrasting idea, and 'indeed' does not establish the intended contrast required in the sentence.

By choosing option D, you acknowledge that 'committed' is the correct spelling, reinforcing the idea that Sam is dedicated to assisting animals through his volunteer work.
