Answer 1

The statement that Ron must always sign off on everything Lisa finishes indicates that Lisa likely has less formal education and training than Ron. As a pharmacist, Ron would have completed a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program, which typically requires more extensive education than the training required for a pharmacy technician position. Therefore, the most accurate response is:

Lisa probably attended a shorter program than Ron did.
