Registration of Safety Inspector requires the minimum experience sequence described as a) 1 year safety work or 2 years mining operation; b) 2 years safety work or 3 years mining operation; c) 4 years safety work or 5 years mining operation. Which option lists the exact sequence of numbers used for these blanks?

• A. 1 year, 2 years, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years
• B. 1 year, 3 years, 2 years, 4 years, 5 years, 6 years
• C. 2 years, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 6 years
• D. 0 years, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years

Answer: (A)

The question tests how the minimum experience numbers line up with the three paired paths: safety work or mining operation. For each item, you use the two numbers shown in the pair, in that order. So you get 1 year for safety or 2 years for mining in the first item, 2 years for safety or 3 years for mining in the second, and 4 years for safety or 5 years for mining in the third. Putting those six numbers in sequence gives 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5. That matches the option that lists those exact numbers in that order. Other sequences don’t follow the specified pairs.
