You mark 'A - No Errors' when the address and ZIP code in both lists are completely identical.
In Address Checking, what does answer 'D - Both' indicate?
Answer: Both the address and ZIP code contain errors
'D - Both' means there are errors in both the street address portion and the ZIP code portion.
Which strategy is recommended for the Address Checking section to maximize speed and accuracy?

Checking the address field first, then the ZIP code separately, reduces the chance of missing errors.

Answer: 4
Each item has four choices: A (No Errors), B (Address Only), C (ZIP Code Only), and D (Both).
A List 1 entry reads '4521 Maple Ave, 20001' and List 2 reads '4521 Maple Ave, 20011'. What should you mark?
Answer: C - ZIP Code Only
The street address is identical but the ZIP code differs (20001 vs. 20011), so mark 'C - ZIP Code Only'.
