True or false?
"T-bone" proves in his email that he has relevant experience for this position.
"T-bone" proves in his email that he has relevant experience for this position.
This is not a true statement.
This statement is false. T-Bone says he has experience "waxing surfboards and lighting campfires". These are unrelated to the job of "junior accounting clerk at Delavigne Corp". T-Bone also says that his friends say he looks like an accountant because he wears glasses: not because he has any relevant or useful experience in accounts.

Choose the term which can replace "deceiving" in this sentence and express the same meaning.
Brent: Numbers can be misleading, Moira.
Choose the term which can replace "deceiving" in this sentence and express the same meaning.
Brent: Numbers can be misleading, Moira.
misleading: Brent says that the latest figures published in the "Washington Post" can be "deceiving", a term which means "misleading" or "potentially inaccurate". Brent is expressing that the statistics aren't the best indication of public opinion, and he is suggesting that they might not be representative of reality. The term "deceiving", as well as the verb "to deceive" is used both to describe something (like information) which may represent something different than reality (as it is used here), or to indicate a willful attempt to "mislead" (or even trick or lie to) someone. For example: He told me that he was fluent in seven languages, but now I realize that he deceived me: he can barely speak English.
disappointing: The term "deceiving" (from the verb "to deceive") is totally unrelated to personal feelings of "disappointment" or unmet expectations.
confusing: To say that the numbers are confusing would be to say that they are difficult to understand. Brent is not saying this, however. Brent is expressing that these figures are potentially inaccurate, or might not reflect reality.
irrelevant: Brent is not saying that these numbers are "irrelevant" or of no importance. Brent is expressing that these figures are potentially inaccurate, or might not reflect reality.

wide: "Wide" is the term we were looking for here. If something is "wide", it is "broad", "expansive", "thick", or has a large diameter. Example: "Motorways are wider than country roads". When we visit the dentist, we are often asked to "open (our mouths) wide". The term "wide" can also be used figuratively. Example: "Delavigne perfumes appeal to a wide range of customers".
