Question: 105

6. A line of print in a magazine article contains an average of 6 words. There are 5 lines to the inch. If 8 inches are available for an article that contains 270 words, how must the article be changed

  • A. Add 30 words.
  • B. Delete 30 words.
  • C. Delete 40 words.
  • D. Add 60 words.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The correct answer is (B). 6 words per line × 5 lines per inch = 30 words per inch.

30 words per inch × 8 inches = 240 words.

If the article has 270 words and there is space for only 240 words, then 30 words must be deleted.
