instead of gas or charcoal. Plus, a lot of them mentioned that they felt the cooking equipment

we make is high-quality, so they’d consider buying a solar grill from us.

(N) Questions 98 through 100 refer to the following excerpt from a meeting and graph.

(W-Am) OK, let’s get this supervisors’ meeting started. First, I’d like to talk about the monthly safetyinspections here at the factory. Look at this graph. You can see the month when the factoryreceived the highest inspection score. That’s probably because we held a safety training sessionat the beginning of that month, before the inspection was done. Unfortunately, our scores havebeen declining since then, which indicates that our staff needs to be reminded of the safetyguidelines on a regular basis. So for this month, let’s make sure that everybody reviews thesafety manual before the inspection takes place. Marcela has prepared copies for everyone.Please pick up some for your team members.
