1) In the pyramid of levels of management, non-managerial staff is placed at the "middle" level. This means that they are neither at the top nor at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Explanation: In a pyramid of levels of management, the top level consists of the highest-ranking executives who make strategic decisions for the organization. The bottom level consists of the operational staff who directly carry out the tasks and duties assigned to them. The middle level is where non-managerial staff is placed. They are not responsible for overseeing the work of others but instead focus on performing their own tasks and responsibilities.

2) The people who work directly on a job or task and have no responsibility for overseeing the work of others are called "non-managerial staff."

Explanation: Non-managerial staff refers to employees who do not hold managerial positions and do not have the authority to supervise or manage others. They are typically involved in carrying out specific tasks or jobs assigned to them, focusing on their own work without any supervisory responsibilities.

3) The correct answer is "b. wasn't."

Explanation: The sentence expresses a desire for a change in the past, indicating a hypothetical situation. Therefore, the correct answer should use the past subjunctive form of the verb "to be," which is "was" or "were." In this case, "wasn't" is the correct negative form of "was."

4) The correct answer is "a. were/was."

Explanation: The sentence expresses a wish to be young again, indicating a hypothetical situation. Therefore, the correct answer should use the past subjunctive form of the verb "to be," which is "were" for the first and third person singular (I, he, she, it) and "was" for the second person singular and all plural forms.

5) The correct answer is "c. had followed."

Explanation: The sentence expresses regret about not following a piece of advice from parents in the past. Therefore, the correct answer should use the past perfect tense to indicate an action that should have happened before another past action. In this case, "had followed" is the correct past perfect form of the verb "to follow."

6) The drawback of organizing a company by function is that "communication between departments may be limited."

Explanation: Organizing a company by function means that different departments or divisions are grouped based on their specialized functions or skills. While this allows each department to focus on its specific area of expertise, it can lead to limited communication and coordination between departments. This can hinder cross-functional collaboration and the sharing of information and resources among different areas of the organization.

7) The correct answer is "c. could swim."

Explanation: The sentence expresses a desire or a hypothetical situation regarding the ability to swim. Therefore, the correct answer should use the modal verb "could" to indicate a hypothetical or possible ability.

8) The organizational structure that does not exist is "c. adaptive structure."

Explanation: Functional structure, organization by customer, and structure by process are all valid types of organizational structures commonly used by companies. However, adaptive structure does not exist as a specific type of organizational structure. It may be a term used to describe an organization's ability to adapt or change its structure based on external factors or changing business needs, but it is not a recognized and commonly used organizational structure on its own.
