QUESTION TYPE: Must be False
FACTS:
- Billing is every four weeks in advance.
- If a delivery is missed you must call within 24 hours to get credit.
- Credit will only be given if a replacement copy is unavailable.
- Nondelivery requests must be three days in advance.
- A subscription can only be cancelled if the request is made in writing beforehand.
ANALYSIS: For this type of question you need to be clear on all of the details. It can help to physically point to the relevant policy when you’re eliminating the wrong answer choices.
___________
- The Gazette can deny this request for cancellation thanks to #5: Mr. Rathanan didn’t provide written notice.
- Dr. Broder can only get credit if there is no replacement copy (#3). But there was a replacement copy. Denied.
- CORRECT. Ms. Herrera did call at least three days ahead of time, so the newspaper should have stopped delivering. They owe her credit.
- Ms. Jackson didn’t provide a written request (#5). Denied.
- Ms. Silvermann didn’t call within 24 hours of nondelivery (#2) Denied.
