Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
All new students must be screened for hearing and vision within 120 days of enrollment. If the school year starts September 1, the screening would need to be completed before the end-of-the-year break.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Cost-effectiveness analysis can be used to compare programs with similar goals and objectives. Cost-effectiveness analysis does not place a dollar value on either the consequences or the costs of a project. Costbenefit analysis makes it possible to compare different projects because all measurement is made in dollars. Cost-effectiveness analysis does not determine whether total benefits exceed total costs.
