‘CALL ANYWHERE IN THE STATE FOR ONE LOW SHORT-DISTANCE RATE!’

You have a choice of three Superfine Mobile Digital access plans: Leisure time, Executive, and Highflier. They are designed to meet the needs of light, moderate and high-volume users. Calls in each plan are charged at only two rates - short-distance and long-distance.
You enjoy big savings with off-peak calls.
LEISURETIME:
Your mobile phone is mainly for personal use. You use your phone to keep family and friends in touch. You don't want to strain your budget.
With this plan, you enjoy the lowest monthly access fee and extremely competitive costs for calls. However, a monthly minimum call charge applies.
EXECUTIVE:
You're in business and need to be able to call your office and your clients whenever the need arises. You value the convenience of a mobile phone but need to keep a close eye on overheads.
For frequent users: the monthly access fee is slightly higher, but you enjoy the savings of a discounted call rate.
HIGHFLIER:
You are always on the move and communications are critical. You need to be able to call and be called wherever you are -- world-wide.
As a high-volume user, you pay an access fee of just $60 a month but even lower call rates.

Peak Time: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
Off-peak: all other times, including all day Sunday. Billing increments are in 30-second unit. Call charges are rounded up to the nearest cent. In off-peak periods, calls are subject to a minimum charge of two 30-second units.
Once-Only Connection Fee: $30 plus additional $35 for your Smartcard.

Questions 1-7

Classify the following statements as referring to
    A.  the LEISURETIME plan
    B.  the EXECUTIVE plan
    C.  the HIGHFLIER plan
    D.  ALL three of the plans
Write the correct letter, A, B, C or D in boxes 1-7 on your answer sheet.
1. The monthly access fee is the highest but the call rates are the lowest- C (The passage talks about how the HIGHFLIER plan comes with a monthly access fee of $60 but really low call rates in comparison)
2. Calls are charged at short-distance or long-distance rates- D (The passage and given table clearly indicate how all plans have calls charged at both long-distance and short-distance rates)
3. This plan is NOT primarily intended for people who need a mobile phone for their work- A (The passage shows how the LEISURETIME plan is for those who wish to stay connected to their family and friends without straining their budget, indicating how this is not for those who require mobile phones for taking care of work)

4. This plan is a cost-effective choice if you spend just over $100 a month on calls- B (This is because the LEISURETIME plan is up to $95 a month, while the EXECUTIVE plan is between $95-180. The HIGHFLIER plan is over $180 and hence it is not as cost-effective as the EXECUTIVE plan)

5. It costs 21 cents for a 30-second long distance call at 2 p.m. – C (The HIGHFLIER plan is the answer, since the table shows the rate of 21 cents for long-distance calls during peak hours)
6. The connection fee is $30- D (The passage mentions this as an applicable charge for all plans on a one-time basis along with the SmartCard fee of $35)
7. You will have to pay a minimum amount for calls each month- A (The LEISURETIME plan comes with a monthly minimum charge and it is mentioned in the passage)
