Question 1
A broad review includes Business Organisations and Structures and Macro-economic and Business
Environment, but the next question is specifically about Government economic objectives, policies
(fiscal and monetary), and global trade systems. Which focus should be brought to the
foreground?
A. Business Organisations and Structures
B. Research and Information Technology
C. Human Resource Management (HRM)

business entities (sole traders, partnerships, private and public limited companies, and non-profit
organisations). A: Business Organisations and Structures remains relevant to the broader review, but
the stated concern is more directly about Macro-economic and Business Environment. B: Research and
Information Technology concerns conducting independent academic research, rather than being the
closest match for the concern in the question. C: Human Resource Management (HRM) concerns
recruitment, selection, workforce planning, and training methods, rather than being the closest match
for the concern in the question.
Question 2
Two cases concern (1) Micro and macro-economic factors affecting commercial operations and (2)
Structuring extended written responses, arguments, and essays. Which pair identifies the most
directly relevant areas in the same order?
A. Macro-economic and Business Environment; then Macro-economic and Business Environment
B. Macro-economic and Business Environment; then Academic Writing and Communication
C. Academic Writing and Communication; then Academic Writing and Communication

Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:

so assigning both to Macro-economic and Business Environment loses the distinction. C: The first
concern fits Macro-economic and Business Environment, so assigning both to Academic Writing and
Communication loses the distinction. D: This reverses the associations: the first concern fits
Macro-economic and Business Environment, and the second fits Academic Writing and Communication.
