'Thompson Lisa – ID59174' is missing the required comma after the last name, breaking the specified format.

Only 'Brown, Alice | 1979-11-05 | Marketing | EMP-7823' places Name, DOB, Department, and Employee ID in the correct column order.
Question 6: Which word(s) in the following sentence is/are spelled incorrectly? 'The committe reccomended deferring the decision until next quarter.'
- committe only
- reccomended only
- deferring only
- Both committe and reccomended (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Both committe and reccomended
'Committe' should be 'committee' and 'reccomended' should be 'recommended'; 'deferring' is spelled correctly.
Question 7: An invoice lists Item A: $24.50, Item B: $13.75, Item C: $8.25, and a total of $47.00. What is the error?
- Item A price is wrong

- The stated total is wrong (Correct answer)
- Item C price is wrong
Correct answer: The stated total is wrong
$24.50 + $13.75 + $8.25 = $46.50, so the stated total of $47.00 is incorrect by $0.50.
