Correct Answer: She is concerned about how much it would cost.
Why this is correct: The woman says she is on a tight budget after renovations. When the consultant mentions blade signs cost around $2,800 to $3,200, she says that might be too much. Her main worry is the price.
Why the other options are wrong:
- She thinks blade signs are not visible enough.: She never says blade signs are not visible. In fact, she says they look nice.
- The city no longer allows blade signs.: The city still allows blade signs. They just need extra approval for public space.
- Her landlord prefers channel letters.: The landlord prohibits drilling into brick; a preference for channel letters is not stated.
Correct Answer: They look professional, especially at night.
Why this is correct: Channel letters are raised and often backlit. The consultant highlights their professional appearance, especially at night.
Why the other options are wrong:
- They are approved faster by the City.: The provider does not say channel letters get faster city approval. The provider mentions blade signs need extra approval.
- They can be installed without drilling.: The provider actually says channel letters usually require more drilling, not less.
- They are the cheapest option available.: Channel letters cost about $3,500, making them more expensive than some other options.
Correct Answer: About two weeks.
Why this is correct: The consultant says a flat panel sign with printed vinyl can be installed within two weeks. This is the quickest option the provider describes. The woman likes this because she wants to open in about a month.
Why the other options are wrong:
- About six weeks.: Six weeks is how long channel letters take, not a flat panel sign.
- About one month.: One month is when the woman hopes to open, not how long the sign takes.
- More than two months.: The consultant says the flat panel can be installed within two weeks; a delay of more than two months is not stated for it.
Correct Answer: It fits the woman's budget and landlord's rules.
Why this is correct: The consultant recommends the flat panel because it works with two key limits. First, the woman has a tight budget, and flat panels are the most affordable. Second, her landlord said no drilling into brick, and flat panels mount on the existing frame without extra drilling.
Why the other options are wrong:
- It lasts longer than aluminium signs.: The flat panel is recommended because it can use the existing frame without drilling into the brick. A longer lifespan than aluminium signs is not the stated reason.
- It attracts more foot traffic than other signs.: Blade signs are better for foot traffic, not flat panels.
- It does not require a city permit.: All signs in Corner Brook need a city permit. The flat panel is not exempt.
Correct Answer: It may need replacing after several years.
Why this is correct: The consultant says vinyl may need replacing after five to seven years, while describing the flat panel as the most cost-effective choice overall.
Why the other options are wrong:
- It is unsuitable for windy climates.: The provider says aluminium panels hold up well in Newfoundland weather. The provider does not say vinyl is unsuitable for wind.
- It is more durable than channel letters.: The provider does not compare vinyl durability to channel letters in that way.
- It is only used for temporary signs.: The consultant gives a possible replacement interval of five to seven years, not a claim that vinyl is only for temporary signs.
Correct Answer: Send design mock-ups to the woman.
Why this is correct: At the end, the consultant says the provider will measure the space today and email a few mock-ups by early next week. The woman chose the flat panel, so the next step is getting design options.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Order channel letters immediately.: The woman did not choose channel letters. She chose the flat panel sign.
- Submit a blade sign permit to the City.: She decided against the blade sign because of the cost, so no permit is needed for it.
- Install the sign later that day.: The provider says the provider will email mock-ups next week. The provider is not installing anything today.
