[q]A trucking company can act as a ‘common carrier’ – for hire to the general public at published rates. As a common carrier, the trucking company is liable for any cargo damage, unless the company can show that it was not negligent. If the company can demonstrate that it was not negligent, then it is not liable for cargo damage. In contrast, a ‘contract carrier’ ( a trucking company hired by a shipper under a specific contract) is only responsible for cargo damage spelled out in the contract. A Claus Inc. tractor-trailer, acting under common carrier authority, was in a 5-vehivle accident that damaged its cargo. A Nichlos Inc. tractor-trailer, acting under contract carrier authority, was involved in the same accident, and its cargo was also damaged.
From the information given above, it can be validly concluded that, in reference to the accident:
A) If Claus Inc. is liable, then it can show that it was not negligent
B) If Claus Inc. cannot show that it was not negligent, then it is not liable
C) If Claus Inc. can show that it was not negligent, then it is not liable
D) If Nichols Inc. is liable, then it cannot show that it is negligent
[a]C) If Claus Inc. can show that it was not negligent, then it is not liable
[q]A rapidly changing technical environment in government is promoting greater reliance on electronic mail (e-mail) systems. As this usage grows, there are increasing chances of conflict between the users’ expectations of privacy and public access rights. In some investigation, access to ALL e-mail, including those messages stored in archival files and messages outside the scope of the investigation, has been sought and granted. In spite of this, some people send messages through e-mail that would never be said face-to-face or written formally.
From the information given above, it CANNOT be validly concluded that:

A) $800
B) $790
C) $640
D) $ 16
[a]$640
$32 x 25 = $800
$800 x .20 = 160
$800 – 160 = $640
[q]The gross weight of merchandise in a container examined by an officer was 108 pounds. According to policy, the officer was required to convert this weight into kilograms. If the formula for conversion is 1.8 pounds for each kilogram, what was the gross weight of the container load in kilograms (rounded to the nearest tenth)?
A) 194.0
B) 166.6
C) 60.0
D) 45.0
[a]C) 60.0
108 lb / 1.8 = 60.0kg
[q]An Agriculture Specialist and her dog found a total of 1,500 packages wrapped in plain brown paper hidden in a large mail container. Upon inspection, the officer found that some of the packages had legal CBP stickers on them and some had illegal stickers from another country. The ratio of packages with legal stickers to packages with illegal stickers was 2:3. How many packages contained illegal stickers?
A) 1,000
B) 900
C) 600
D) 500
[a]B) 900
Legal stickers = 2/5 ; Illegal stickers = 3/5
3/5 x 1500 = 900
[q]While working the evening shift, Officer K took 8 hours to complete a task at his work station and Officer M took 10 hours to complete the same task at his work station. How many hours would it take Officer K and Officer M to complete the same task working together, each working at his own work station?
A) 9
B) 8 1/9
C) 4 4/9
D) 6 3/4
[a]C) 4 4/9
Officer K’s hours = 1/8 ; Officer M’s hours = 1/10
Officer K completes 1/8 of the job per hour ; Officer M completes 1/10 of the job per hour
Together they work: 1/8 + 1/10 = 18/80 of the job per hour
Reduce 18/80 to 9/40
T equals the amount of time it takes the two of them to finish the job
Then 9/40 of the job per hour x T (hours) has to equal 1 job
So, 9/40 x T = 1 and 40/9 = 4 4/9 hours
[q]Three dogs in a canine team are in charge of inspecting cargo at an international airport for prohibited fruits, vegetables and meats. Last week, one of these dogs identified 20 cartons of prohibited fruits among 120 total cartons on a flight arriving from overseas. Assuming that the dog randomly selected the first carton to be inspected what was the probability that this carton contained a shipment of prohibited fruit?
A) 1/3
B) 1/4
C) 1/5
D) 1/6
[a]D) 1/6
The possibility is 20 cartons out of 120 cartons
So, 20/120 = 1/6
[q]One day, Officer Ferong spent 4 hours processing passengers from a flight from Brazil at a rate of 16 passengers every 40 minutes. The next day, she spent 4 hours processing passengers at a rate of 18 every 40 minutes. What was the average number of passengers she processed during these two 4-hour periods?
A) 283
B) 204
C) 141.5
D) 102
[a]D) 102
First day calculations:
16/40 = 0.4 ( this number means that Officer Ferong processed passengers at a rate of 0.4 per minute on the first day)
0.4 x 60 = 24 passengers per hour
24 x 4 = 96 passengers every 4 hours
Second day calculations:
18/40 = .45
.45 x 60 = 27
27 x 4 = 108
Find the average of the two days
96 + 108 = 204
204/2 = 102

[q]Select the correct paragraph order to create a passage that is well- organized, clear, and coherent or choose ‘no correction is necessary”.
(1) First used on a wide scale in 1970, narcotic detector dogs save countless staff hours in locating narcotics in vehicles, mail, unaccompanied baggage, and on cargo ships. A dog and its handler can check 500 packages in 30 minutes; it would take a mail examiner several days to inspect as many. At border ports, a dog can inspect a vehicle in about two minutes; the same search a Cargo Officer would take at least 20 minutes. Therefore, the use of narcotic detector dogs has greatly enhanced the fight against illegal drug smuggling into the United States.
(2) While not exactly high-tech, a unique tool in CBP’s drug fight is its force of narcotic detector dogs, their trainers, and the CBP Officers who work with these canine detectors.
(3) This fight continues today, extending into high-tech world of the 21st Century. Through diligence, close inspection, sophisticated technology, and the sacrifice of lives, CBP has given an excellent account of itself in fighting the flow of illegal drugs into this country.
(4) Since the repeal of Prohibition 1933, liquor smuggling has naturally decreased. In later years, however the illegal entry narcotics and dangerous drugs increased to threatening proportions. During the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, Federal Officers faced the almost overwhelming task of fighting the influx of opium, heroin, cocaine, hashish, marijuana, and amphetamines into the United States.
A) 4 – 3 – 2 – 1
B) 3 – 4 – 1 – 2
C) 2 – 3 – 4 – 1

[q]Select the correct paragraph order to create a passage that is well- organized, clear, and coherent or choose ‘no correction is necessary”.
(1) Project Shield America will have two operational components. The first will be to reach out and form partnerships with U.S. manufacturers and distributors of the sensitive technology, weapons, and equipment sought by terrorists. The second will be to investigate and halt those attempting to acquire and illegally export weapons components to groups intent on harming America.
(2) Beginning immediately, field offices will identify the specific U.S. firms in their areas that manufacture or distribute materials of interest. Agents will then visit these firms and provide them with materials about Project Shield America, information about U.S. export controls and data about the items sought by terrorists. Most importantly the agents will encourage these firms to notify agents if they are approached by customers looking to acquire and export their products illegally .
(3) In sum, under the banner of Project Shield America, we will partner with U.S. industries to prevent their technological accomplishments from being exploited by terrorists. While some of these materials may seem relatively innocuous and have relatively little monetary value, they can have enormous strategic value in the hands of America’s adversaries. These “minor” technological goods could easily become the necessary components for major weapons development by terrorist groups or rouge nations.
(4) At the same time, agents will step up their efforts to investigate and prosecute those who attempt to acquire and illegally export sensitive technology, weapons and equipment to international terrorists organizations. These efforts will include undercover probes and other investigative techniques. The Office of Strategic Investigations will redirect its resources toward the objective of denying terrorists organizations. These efforts will include undercover probes and other investigative techniques. The Office Strategic Investigations will redirect its resources toward the objective of denying terrorist organizations access to these materials. Assistance form U.S. manufacturers and distributors will be crucial in this effort.
A) 1 – 2 – 3 – 4
B) 1 – 4 – 3 – 2
C) 1 – 4 – 2 – 3
D) No correction is necessary.

1) First used on a wide scale in 1970, narcotic detector dogs save countless staff hours in locating narcotics in vehicles, mail, unaccompanied baggage, and on cargo ships. A dog and its handler can check 500 packages in 30 minutes; it would take a mail examiner several days to inspect as many. At border ports, a dog can inspect a vehicle in about two minutes; the same search by a CBP Officer would take at least 20 minutes. Therefore, the use of narcotic detector dogs has greatly enhanced the fight against illegal drug smuggling into the United States.
2) While not exactly high-tech, a unique tool in CBP’s drug fight is its force of narcotic detector dogs, their trainers, and the CBP Officers who work with these canine detectors.
3) This fight continues today, extending into the high-tech world of the 21st century. Through diligence, close inspection, sophisticated technology, and the sacrifice of lives, CBP has given an excellent account of itself in fighting the flow of illegal drugs into this country.
4) Since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, liquor smuggling has naturally decreased. In later years, however, the illegal entry of narcotics and dangerous drugs increased to threatening proportions. During the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, Federal Officers faced the almost overwhelming task of fighting the influx of opium, heroin, cocaine, hashish, marijuana, and amphetamines into the United States.

1) Project Shield America will have two operational components. The first will be to reach out and form partnerships with U.S. manufacturers and distributors of the sensitive technology, weapons, and equipment sought by terrorists. The second will be to investigate and halt those attempting to acquire and illegally export weapons components to groups intent on harming America.
2) Beginning immediately, field offices will identify the specific U.S. firms in their areas that manufacture or distribute materials of interest. Agents will then visit these firms and provide them with materials about Project Shield America, information about U.S. export controls, and data about the items sought by terrorists. Most importantly, the agents will encourage these firms to notify agents if they are approached by customers looking to acquire and export their products illegally.
3) In sum, under the banner of Project Shield America, we will partner with U.S. industries to prevent their technological accomplishments from being exploited by terrorists. While some of these materials may seem relatively innocuous and have relatively little monetary value, they can have enormous strategic value in the hands of America’s adversaries. These “minor” technological goods could easily become the necessary components for major weapons development by terrorist groups or rogue nations.
4) At the same time, agents will step up their efforts to investigate and prosecute those who attempt to acquire and illegally export sensitive technology, weapons, and equipment to international terrorist organizations. These efforts will include undercover probes and other investigative techniques. The Office of Strategic Investigations will redirect its resources towards the objective of denying terrorist organizations access to these materials. Assistance from U.S. manufacturers and distributors will be crucial in this effort.
