e. building - ANSWER a. The head of a school is its principal and the head of an office is
its manager. Although a secretary works in a office, he or she is not the head of the
office, so choice b is incorrect. Choice c is incorrect because a computer is something
found in an office. Choice d is incorrect because a teacher works in a school, not in an
office and is not the boss of either. A building is where schools and offices are found and
doesn't explain who the boss of an office is so, choice e is incorrect.

result of molding clay but fails to address how the clay is manipulated. Choice d is
incorrect because it describes the person who works with clay.

despairing effect on someone, so choice d is incorrect.
