Important examples of schooling in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

TOEIC Vocabulary

▪The candidate's schooling qualifies her for the position.
▪The candidate's education makes her suitable for the job.

Example of a confusing word: quantify (to measure the quantity of something)

▪The candidate's schooling quantifies her for the position.
▪The candidate's schooling measures her for the position.
"Qualify" means "to meet the necessary requirements or criteria," and is used correctly in the sentence "The candidate's schooling qualifies her for the position." "Quantify," however, means "to measure or express the quantity of something," and does not fit in this context. The sentence "The candidate's schooling quantifies her for the position" is grammatically incorrect and nonsensical, as schooling cannot measure a person for a position. Thus, "qualify" is the correct choice.
