Question 1: A proofreader sees: 'She recieved the award on Febuary 14th.' How many spelling errors are present?

Question 2: A parts list shows quantities: Bolt-A: 24, Nut-B: 24, Washer-C: 48, Bolt-A: 12. What is the issue?
- Washer-C quantity is double what it should be
- Bolt-A appears twice with different quantities (Correct answer)
- Nut-B and Bolt-A quantities should match
- The list is correctly formatted
Correct answer: Bolt-A appears twice with different quantities
Bolt-A is listed twice with quantities of 24 and 12, creating ambiguity about the actual required count.
Question 3: Which URL contains a typo compared to 'practicetestgeeks.com'? A) practicetestgeeks.com B) practicetestgecks.com C) practicetestgeeks.com D) practicetestgeeks.com
