MESA Entrance Practice Exam

The idea being tested is recognizing common abbreviations in context. RSV is used as a shorthand for Regular Reserve, a standard term for funds or resources set aside for routine, ongoing needs. This fits because the word “Regular” directly aligns with the R, and “Reserve” is a common term in budgeting and planning that often appears in abbreviated form. The other options don’t match typical expansions of RSV—Unaccompanied Minor is usually shortened differently, Weight is commonly Wt, and Weather is WX—so Regular Reserve is the best fit.
