Part 7 · Rescheduled Supplier-Assessment Notice

Quality AssuranceSupplier Assessment Visit

Questions 6-8 refer to the following e-mail.

To: Operations Managers From: Quality Assurance Subject: Supplier Assessment Visit

The annual assessment of Kensei Components, originally scheduled for October 20, has been moved to October 22 because the lead auditor will be unavailable on the earlier date. The production tour will still take place in the morning, followed by a review of quality-control records in the afternoon.

Please upload Kensei's updated safety procedures and defect reports from the past three months to the secure portal by October 15. Documents submitted after that date may not be reviewed before the visit. Confidential records should not be sent by regular e-mail.

Kensei should provide protective equipment for the three auditors and arrange for an English-speaking employee to accompany them during the production tour. A final assessment report will be issued within ten business days of the visit. A corrective-action plan will be requested only if the auditors identify shortcomings.

03 Answers & explanations

Answers appear after you submit

No.	Correct answer	Point tested	Explanation
1	A · facilitate	Verb-meaning discrimination	"facilitate" (to promote, to make easier) typically takes an abstract noun (integration, process, communication, etc.) as its object and fits the context "facilitate new employees' integration into their teams." "compile," "retain," and "postpone" do not fit.
2	B · commensurate	Fixed adjective collocation	"commensurate with" (in proportion to, matching) is common where pay matches experience or qualifications. "adjacent," "tentative," and "prevalent" do not fit in meaning or usage.
3	C · inadvertently	Adverb-meaning discrimination	"inadvertently" (unintentionally, by accident) modifies an action caused by carelessness and fits "deleted by mistake during the system upgrade." "considerably" (a degree adverb), "mutually," and "scarcely" do not fit the meaning.
4	D · Pending	Fixed prepositional usage	"Pending" (awaiting, until) works as a preposition followed by a noun phrase, meaning "until approval from the legal department is obtained." "Except," "During" (which normally takes a continuous span of time), and "Among" do not fit an "awaiting approval" context.
5	A · enables	Parallel-structure agreement	The two predicate verbs joined by "not only...but also..." must match in form; since "automates" is third-person singular present, the second verb must also be "enables." "enabled" (past), "enabling" (present participle), and "to enable" (infinitive) all break the parallelism.
6	B · The lead auditor cannot attend on the original date.	Reason detail question	Corresponds to "has been moved to October 22 because the lead auditor will be unavailable on the earlier date." The "because" clause states the reason for rescheduling directly.
7	D · Protective equipment and an English-speaking employee	Detail question	Corresponds to "Kensei should provide protective equipment for the three auditors and arrange for an English-speaking employee to accompany them during the production tour." Both parallel tasks joined by "and" must be identified; do not pick only one.
8	C · It will be required if problems are discovered.	Understanding a conditional	Corresponds to "A corrective-action plan will be requested only if the auditors identify shortcomings." "only if" limits when it applies — required only when problems are found, not after every assessment.

06 Answer techniques

Part 5 + 7 · 6 tips

01
"facilitate" meaning discrimination
"facilitate" means "to promote, to make easier" and takes an abstract noun (integration, process, communication, etc.) as its object. "compile," "retain," and "postpone" do not fit a "facilitate integration" context.
02
The fixed phrase "commensurate with"
Means "in proportion to, matching," common where pay matches experience or qualifications. "adjacent," "tentative," and "prevalent" don't fit in meaning or usage. It is always followed by "with."
03
"inadvertently" meaning discrimination
Means "unintentionally, by accident" and modifies actions caused by carelessness (deleting or sending something by mistake). "considerably" (a degree adverb), "mutually," and "scarcely" do not fit the meaning.
04
"pending" as a preposition
Means "awaiting, until"; it is followed by a noun phrase, not a full clause. "Except," "During" (usually a continuous span of time), and "Among" do not fit an "awaiting approval" context.
05
Parallelism with "not only...but also..."
The two joined parts must keep the same verb form; since "automates" is third-person singular present, the second verb must also be "enables." "enabled" (past), "enabling" (present participle), and "to enable" (infinitive) break the parallelism.
06
Reading: locating cause-and-effect, not missing parallel objects, and the "only if" restriction
Q6: the "because" clause states the reason for rescheduling directly. Q7: identify both parallel objects joined by "and" (protective equipment + an English-speaking employee); don't pick only one. Q8: "only if" limits when the corrective-action plan applies — required only when problems are found, not after every assessment.

07 Business English

Standard formal business-letter phrasing

The assessment has been rescheduled because the lead auditor is unavailable on the original date.由于主审核员在原定日期无法到场，评估已改期。主任監査員が予定日に対応できないため、評価は日程変更されました。

Please upload all supporting documents to the secure portal before the deadline.请在截止日期前将所有支持性文件上传至安全门户网站。締め切りまでに、すべての裏付け書類をセキュアポータルにアップロードしてください。

A corrective-action plan will only be required if the audit identifies any shortcomings.只有在审核发现问题时才需要提交纠正措施计划。監査で不備が確認された場合にのみ、是正措置計画が必要となります。

Compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's relevant experience.薪酬将与候选人的相关经验相称。報酬は候補者の関連経験に見合ったものとなります。
