Which term best matches the definition 'a document that expresses mutual accord on an issue between two or more parties'?

• A. National Assessment of Educational Progress
• B. Memorandum of Understanding
• C. Master Reading Teacher
• D. National Association for College Admission Counseling

Answer: (B)

A memorandum of understanding is a formal document that records a mutual agreement between two or more parties, outlining shared goals, responsibilities, and terms of collaboration on a specific issue or project. It signals that all sides have consented to the arrangement and understand each other’s roles, which is exactly what the definition describes.

The other terms refer to things that aren’t agreements between parties: one is a national educational assessment, another is a professional credential for teachers, and the last is a professional association.
