The Colonel reviews ratings for which values?

• A. 3 and 4
• B. 1, 2, and 5
• C. 1 Only
• D. 2 and 5

Answer: (B)

The key idea is identifying which ratings would actually trigger the Colonel’s attention. In many evaluation contexts, extremes—very low and very high ratings—signal clear issues or standout performance, and a nearby value can also prompt review if it indicates a potential concern. The set that includes 1, 2, and 5 covers low, near-low, and the highest rating, so these are the values the Colonel reviews. Middle values like 3 and 4 are treated as more ordinary or non-actionable in this scenario, so they aren’t part of the review. That’s why 1, 2, and 5 is the best answer: it matches the ratings that would be examined, while the other options miss or misplace those review-worthy values.
