Solution

Answer

The answer is (C) For an award she received.

Explanation

Option (A): For a product she invented

There is no mention in the text of Ms. Malkin inventing a product. The recognition is specifically for an award.

Option (B): For her years of commitment to Allen, Inc.

While Ms. Malkin has made a significant impact in her three years at Allen, Inc., the recognition is not for her years of commitment but for an award.

Option (C): For an award she received

The text clearly states that Ms. Malkin has been named Salesperson of the Year by the International Association of Sales Professionals, which is the reason for her recognition.

Option (D): For her monetary donation to Allen, Inc.

There is no mention of Ms. Malkin making a monetary donation to the company.

Answer

The answer is (C) It does business overseas.

Explanation

Option (A): It produces high-tech gadgets.

The text does not mention anything about Allen, Inc. producing high-tech gadgets.

Option (B): It was established 15 years ago.

The text mentions that this is the first time an Allen, Inc. employee has received the award in 15 years, but it does not state that the company was established 15 years ago.

Option (C): It does business overseas.

The text indicates that since Ms. Malkin's hiring, the company has doubled its client base in Europe and Asia, suggesting that Allen, Inc. does business overseas.

Option (D): It offers attractive benefits.

There is no information in the text about the benefits offered by Allen, Inc.

Answer

The answer is (B) Her team works closely with Ms. Malkin.

Explanation

Option (A): Her office is at the main branch.

The text does not provide any information about Ms. Calderon's office location.

Option (B): Her team works closely with Ms. Malkin.

The email is sent to Ms. Calderon, which could suggest that her team is involved in the sales department or works closely with Ms. Malkin, although this is not explicitly stated.

Option (C): She is organizing a dinner party.

The text states that Alberto Mazetti is the event coordinator for the dinner party, not Ms. Calderon.

Option (D): She was recently promoted to a department head.

There is no mention of Ms. Calderon being promoted in the text.
