Topic quiz 2: Comparing records and checking data entry
Question 1 of 18
Show answer

The form says E-30417 but the system shows E-30471: the last two digits are swapped. Every other field matches exactly.
Question 2 of 18

Pairs 1, 3 and 4 match. Pair 2 has C and G, and pair 5 ends in 0108 and 0180.
Question 3 of 18
Show answer
Answer: B. McAllister, Dana K.
Check the surname letter by letter (Mc, double l) and then the initial. Only the first option matches every character.
Question 4 of 18
Show answer
Answer: B. 403-555-0187
Compare in groups: 403, then 555, then 0187. Each wrong option has two digits swapped in one group.
Question 5 of 18
Show answer
Answer: B. The decimal point was left out
Without the decimal point, 7.5 becomes 75. An amount that is far too large for one day is a sign of a missing decimal point.
Question 6 of 18
Show answer
Answer: B. 2
The item code (4471 and 4417) and the quantity (144 and 114) are different. The other four fields match.
Question 7 of 18
Show answer
Answer: D. Kowalski
K comes after G, so Kowalski belongs at the end. If you remove it, the rest of the list is in order from A to G.
Question 8 of 18
Show answer
Answer: C. Rows 1 and 5
Rows 1 and 5 have the same name, company and time. Rows 2 and 4 have the same visitor but different times (08:40 and 09:40), so they are two visits.
Question 9 of 18
Show answer
Answer: A. The month and the day were swapped
July 9 became September 7. Day-month swaps are common when people mix up date formats, so always check which format a form uses.
Question 10 of 18
Show answer
Answer: B. K. Lavoie
In K. Lavoie's entry, "example" became "exmaple": the a and the m swapped. One wrong letter means the email will not arrive.
Question 11 of 18
Show answer
Answer: C. 3
The 7 and 1 are swapped (2 characters), and the Q has become an O (1 character), so 3 characters differ.
Question 12 of 18
Show answer
Answer: C. Enter it, then read it back against the form in small groups
Entering and then verifying against the source, group by group, catches errors before they reach the records.
Question 13 of 18
Show answer
Answer: B. 4
Rows 3 (1956 and 1965) and 5 (GLE and GIE) do not match, so 6 − 2 = 4 rows match.
Question 14 of 18
Show answer
Answer: D. The count matches but the total does not, so look for a wrong amount
There are 5 records, which matches. They add up to $1,204.50, not $1,240.50. The difference is $36.00, which divides evenly by 9, a sign that two digits may have been swapped.
Question 15 of 18
Show answer
Answer: C. Roy, Élise
The sheet says A-0941 but the system says A-0914: the last two digits are transposed.
Question 16 of 18
Show answer
Answer: A. 3
Three items differ by more than 2: nitrile gloves L (35 − 32 = 3), ear plugs (12 − 9 = 3) and dust masks (8 − 4 = 4). The hi-vis vests differ by only 1.
Question 17 of 18
Show answer
Answer: B. TB-203
The catalogue says a 600 mm level but the system says 900 mm. Check numbers and units inside descriptions, not just the words.
Question 18 of 18
Show answer
Answer: B. Row 5
Row 5 has Grewal/Grewel and T2W 4R3/T2W 4R8. Rows 2 and 4 each have only one error.
