Using the employment advertisement above, which of the following applicants could meet the requirements of this job?
a. A writer looking for 40 hours a week.
b. A college graduate who majored in lay out design
c. A newspaper reporter who has two years of experience
d. A teacher who has taught for 4 years

I think the correct answer is A

Perhaps. None of the potential applicants really meet the qualifications outlined in the posting. The writer might, if he/she has four years of editorial experience and the right degrees. The person who has lay-out design experience (college) doesn't qualify, nor does someone with only two years experience. The writer or the teacher may qualify. Your best guess is probably A, but from just that, who knows?

Correct answer is B. College graduate = 4 Years and the qualification stated they needed 4 years of editorial experience.

The correct answer is actually c. A newspaper reporter who has two years of experience.

According to the advertisement, applicants must have 4 years of editorial experience, and a college degree in Journalism or English is required. Option c meets both of these requirements as a newspaper reporter typically has editorial experience, and it is likely that they would have a college degree in Journalism or a related field.

Option a is incorrect because it only mentions being a writer looking for 40 hours a week, without any mention of the required editorial experience or college degree.

Option b is incorrect because it mentions a college graduate with a major in layout design, which is not mentioned as a requirement in the advertisement.

Option d is incorrect because it mentions a teacher with 4 years of teaching experience, which is not relevant to the editorial requirements of the job.

To determine which of the applicants could meet the requirements of the job, we need to consider the specific qualifications listed in the employment advertisement.

According to the advertisement, the following requirements need to be met:
1. 4 years of editorial experience
2. A college degree in Journalism or English
3. Full-time hours

Let's evaluate each applicant:

a. A writer looking for 40 hours a week.
This applicant's desire for full-time hours is aligned with the job requirement. However, we don't have any information about their editorial experience or their college degree. So, we cannot determine if they meet the requirements based on the information provided.

b. A college graduate who majored in layout design.
Although this applicant is a college graduate, their major is in layout design, not in Journalism or English. Therefore, they do not meet the requirement for a college degree in Journalism or English.

c. A newspaper reporter who has two years of experience.
This applicant falls short in meeting the requirement of having at least 4 years of editorial experience.

d. A teacher who has taught for 4 years.
While this applicant has a four-year teaching experience, it does not fulfill the requirement of having 4 years of editorial experience. Additionally, there is no information about their college degree in Journalism or English.

Based on the information provided, none of the applicants mentioned can fully meet the requirements of the job.
