Carbon monoxide is produced whenever a fuel such as wood, propane, or gasoline burns without enough oxygen. Because the gas has no color, taste, or odor, people rarely notice it before symptoms appear. Home detectors sound an alarm once the concentration in the air reaches a set threshold. Manufacturers generally recommend replacing these units every five to seven years, because the sensing element loses accuracy over time. Pressing the test button will confirm that the alarm's horn sounds and that its battery holds a charge. It will not, however, tell the owner whether the sensing element inside is still capable of responding to the gas. According to the passage, pressing the test button confirms that:
Correct answer: B - the horn and battery are working
For most of the twentieth century, warehouse work was organized around the pallet. Goods arrived stacked on wooden platforms, moved through the building on forklifts, and left the same way. The pallet made bulk handling efficient, but it assumed that a customer wanted a large quantity of a single item. Online retail changed that assumption. A typical order today contains a handful of unrelated products, each of which must be located, picked, and packed individually. Buildings designed for pallets have had to be rebuilt around the individual item, with narrower aisles, shelving in place of racking, and workers or machines that travel to a specific bin rather than a specific pallet. Which of the following would be the BEST title for this passage?
Correct answer: D - Redesigning Warehouses for Online Orders
