CLERICAL Skills MCQ

Question 1

The following name needs to go in the appropriate spot to be with the other names in alphabetical order: Bloom, Janell:

Accepted Answer

Jack

Answer

When alphabetizing names, the standard rule is to file by last name first, then first name. 'Bloom, Janell' would be filed under 'B'. In a list, 'Bloom, Janell' would come alphabetically before 'Jack' (assuming 'Jack' is a last name or a standalone name filed under 'J'). Therefore, if 'Jack' were already in an alphabetical list, 'Bloom, Janell' would be placed immediately before it.

Question 2

Choose the word that is spelled correctly, if any:

Accepted Answer

None of these

Answer

The correct spelling of the legal term is 'defendant'. Options A, B, and C present common misspellings of the word. Since none of the provided options correctly spell 'defendant', the correct choice is 'None of these'.

Question 3

Do the math by multiplying 11,158 by 58.

Accepted Answer

192 R 22

Answer

The question asks to multiply, but the options are in the format of division with a remainder. Assuming the question intended to ask for the division of 11,158 by 58, the calculation is 11,158 ÷ 58. This results in 192 with a remainder of 22 (since 58 * 192 = 11,136, and 11,158 - 11,136 = 22). Therefore, 192 R 22 is the correct answer for the division.

Question 4

Choose the word that is spelled correctly, if any:

Accepted Answer

Occasionally

Answer

The correct spelling of the adverb is 'occasionally'. This word is often misspelled due to the double 'c' and single 's' and 'l'. Option B correctly spells the word, while options A and C contain common errors like 'ss' or 'nn'.

Question 5

How much of 90 is 4/5?

Accepted Answer

72

Answer

To find 4/5 of 90, you multiply 90 by the fraction 4/5. This calculation is (4/5) * 90. First, multiply 4 by 90 to get 360. Then, divide 360 by 5, which equals 72. Thus, 4/5 of 90 is 72.
