BOT案是一種公共工程的「模式」，與多益測驗職場情境中的investment（投資）、contract（合約）、business planning（商業計畫）都息息相關。學會了BOT是哪三個英文字之後，快來試一試兩題《TOEIC 投資英文 Tactics》與《多益測驗官方全真試題指南》的身手：
1. Ms. Walters ______ to another branch, so your new financial advisor 投資英文 will be Mr. Merenda.
(A) transfer
(B) transferring
(投資英文 C) has transferred
(D) transferable
2. If the person you are trying to reach does not answer the telephone, please dial "0" to 投資英文 speak to the ______.
(A) operator
(B) operating
(C) operate
(D) operation
解析：
第1題的正確答案是(C)。本題的句子明顯缺一個動詞，以(C)的「has transferred」為正確的動詞型式。答案(A)需要加第三人稱單數的s，答案(B)需要加be動詞，因為現在分詞不會單獨存在，答案(D)是形容詞，也缺少一個be動詞。
全句句意為「Walters女士已調往另一分行，所以你的新財務顧問將會是Merenda先生。」句中的transfer（調職）是前文BOT裡的transfer（轉換、轉移）。
