They compete with the large businesses that would otherwise dominate the markets and are key providers of new jobs. Smaller businesses are able to accommodate working patterns tailored to the employee’s needs. They are, therefore, valuable sources of employment for the large number of people with family responsibilities who wish to remain part of the labour market but are unable, because of domestic commitments, to take up fulltime employment.  \n5. Entrepreneurs tend not to compete with large organisations.  \n6. Large businesses do not want to accommodate an employee’s individual employment needs.  \n7. Small firms run by entrepreneurs provide no benefits for the community.  \n8. More new jobs are provided by entrepreneurs than large organisations.  \nA True  \nB False  \nC Cannot say  \nBase your answers only on the information given in the passage  \nText :  \nAdvertising and selling books via Internet sites is becoming more popular with traders. It costs less to publicise a book on the Internet than by traditional methods, and as books are stored in warehouses prior to being despatched to customers, overheads are lower than those of shops. True, the price war on the Internet is likely to put pressure on royalties, with publishers demanding that they be calculated not on the cover prices of books but on the prices actually received for them. However, these discounts will be greatest on best-sellers, rather than other books.  \n9. The consumer demand for books sold on the Internet is increasing.  \n10. The cost of placing an advertisement for a book on the Internet is less than other methods of marketing.  \n11. Internet bookstores offer their biggest discounts on less popular books.  \n12. Writers will definitely lose money because of the nature of Internet book-selling.  \nA True  \nB False  \nC Cannot say  \nBase your answers only on the information given in the passage  \nText :  \nThe number of accidents, which occur during the course of the working day, will never be reduced to zero, regardless of the attempts of regulating bodies. This is because all activity inevitably involves some degree of risk and luck. However, it is possible to reduce the number of occupational accidents, and one way of doing this would be to impose punitive fines on organisations within which occupational accidents occur. Whilst this will result in cases of injustice to some organisations, the overall effect for the employee, in terms of securing a safer workplace, will surely be beneficial.  \n17. Some accidents at work are the result of misfortune.  \n18. Organisations have no power to make workplaces safer.  \n19. Under the proposed system of fines, organisations taking safety seriously would have nothing to fear.  \n20. A system of fines is the best way to reduce accidents in the workplace.  \nA True  \nB False  \nC Cannot say  \nBase your answers only on the information given in the passage  \nPopulation Statistics for 1997  \n\n| Country | Population (millions) | 5-14 year olds (% of population) | 15 –24 year olds (% of population) | Employed\u003Cbr>(% of population ) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| A | 81.5 | 11.1 | 11.7 | 60 |\n| B | 58.2 | 12.9 | 13.0 | 51 |\n| C | 39.6 | 11.0 | 16.3 | 59 |\n| D | 10.4 | 15.8 | 14.1 | 57 |\n\nPercentage of the Employed Population using Different Modes of Transport to Travel to Work (1997 data)  \n\n|  | PRIVATE VEHICLE |  |  |","cbCaieYPFyYK4Y1V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieYPFyYK4Y1V","pdf",31770,"English","# Preselection test overview\n## Instructions and timing\n# Reading passages (True/False/Cannot say)\n## Entrepreneurs and employment\n## Internet book advertising and royalties\n## Workplace accidents and fines\n# Data interpretation questions\n## Population statistics (1997)\n## Transport modes to work (1997)\n## Energy consumption chart (1987 vs 1997)","[{\"question\":\"How many questions are preselection test items drawn from?\",\"answer\":\"The test sample is selected from a series comprising 40 multiple-choice questions, with 16 questions chosen for the open competition referenced in the material.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the proposed time to complete the preselection test?\",\"answer\":\"The material specifies a proposed time of 18 minutes.\"},{\"question\":\"Should answers be based only on the information in the passages?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
