Look carefully at the letter below:

Dear Mr. Stevenson:
Your company recently installed rain gutters on my house in Country Meadows. We paid $4545
for new gutters on every face of our two-story home. The work took place on 10/2/2019.
Attached is a copy of the invoice showing the work was completed and paid in full.
We were very happy with the service we received and your crew was very kind and professional.
Unfortunately, during the heavy snow storm we had last week, our new rain gutters on the north
side of our house fell off. While I am not an expert, it appears that several of the fasteners where
inadvertently left out during installation.
We ask that you send your crews back out to complete the job that was paid for, replacing the
gutters that have detached and inspecting the remainder of the gutters for similar issues.
We look forward to hearing back from you in the next several days to confirm when you will be
returning. We expect to see your crew within the next three weeks and will wait until then before
contacting the state contractor’s license board.
Feel free to contact me at (123) 456-7890 to schedule or visit or with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,

David Jones

Arrange the following sentences to form a sensible paragraph.
(1) In another container, B floats above C, and in a third container, A above C.
(2) Our experiment shows that liquid A floats above liquid B when combined in a container.
(3) Therefore, it is safe to say that C is the most dense, or heaviest, substance of the three.
(4) The book suggests that the further a material sinks down in a container, the denser it
actually is than the other material within the same container

Level 5

Select the sentence that best describes the ideas of the given paragraph.

“In 1974, there was a loud sound and a bright light that woke the whole neighborhood up.
Too afraid to figure out what it was, the people decided to lock themselves in their rooms and
waited for it to pass.
When morning came, they found that the streets are wet and the winds felt very cold.
Up to this day the people claim they do not know what the light and sound was.”

The text below is extracted from a maintenance system program.
The maintenance program is designed around the principles of a reliability centered maintenance
strategy. This incorporates different types of strategies in different conditions. Reactive
maintenance can be used for items that have a low impact on operations, low cost of repair, and
that are affected minimally by maintenance intervention. A majority of the maintenance being
done in the facility will be completed using a preventative maintenance strategy, resulting in a
regular upkeep of the equipment. This can be used for equipment that can have an expanded
lifespan when regularly maintained, for pieces of equipment where additional funds can be
utilized to avoid failure, and may be hard to regularly inspect due to access or availability. The
final group of equipment will undergo a predictive maintenance strategy. These are pieces of
equipment with a lifespan that can be significantly increased by regular monitoring and repair
with parts that are nearing the end of their functional life, and/or are mission critical pieces of
equipment. By taking regular measurements, failure can be predicted and prevented while still
allowing for the maximum use of the parts in question.
