City notice
Road Closures for the City Half Marathon
On Sunday, April 6, several downtown streets will be closed from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the City Half Marathon. Bus routes 4 and 9 will be detoured along River Road; all other routes will run as normal. Residents who need to drive out of the closed area during the race should use the Elm Street exit, which will stay open with help from police officers.
Volunteers are still needed to hand out water to runners. Sign up on the city website. All volunteers will receive a free race T-shirt.
The word "detoured" in the notice is closest in meaning to
AA. delayed
BB. canceled
CC. made free
DD. sent another way
Ver respuesta y explicación
Respuesta correcta: D. sent another way
Explicación
The buses will travel "along River Road" instead of their usual streets, so "detoured" means sent another way.
The notice does not say they will be late, stopped, or free.

Return policy at a campus store
Return Policy — Campus Tech Store
Unopened items may be returned within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. Opened items may be returned within 14 days for store credit only. For health and security reasons, software, gift cards, and headphones cannot be returned once they have been opened.
A receipt is required for all returns. Items bought during our Back-to-School Sale (August 15–31) may be returned until September 30.
A student opened a keyboard 10 days ago and wants to return it with the receipt. What will the student receive?
AA. A full refund of the price
BB. Nothing, because the item has been opened
CC. A new keyboard of the same model
DD. Credit to spend at the store
Ver respuesta y explicación
Respuesta correcta: D. Credit to spend at the store
Explicación
Opened items "may be returned within 14 days for store credit only." Ten days is within that limit, and a keyboard is not on the list of items that cannot be returned once opened.
A full refund is only for unopened items, and the policy does not mention exchanges for a new item.
