Thanks! I could hear and see the questions just fine.

Thank you for this vedio
I used a magnifying glass, that helped….these questions were more to trip you up than to teach, no wonder they can’t find inspectors anymore.
So these werent on the test?
@@joseleos9363 I highly doubt these are on the actual test
🙏🏾
This’s nice, but trie to make it more visible & sound better, but good job.
Can't hear or see a thing
Can u please share pdf copy
Are any of these on the actual test? Thank you
A Year later but yes almost all of these are
pleeeeez can wright the questions and the answers
