Explanation:

a) A Trial Balance is a list of debit and credit balances extracted from the ledger.  It is a tool for checking if the two sides agree in total.  It also forms the basis for preparing financial statements after adjusting entries have been made.

b) Adjusting entries are journal entries made to recognize some accrued expenses and income for the period, in line with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles.

c) Closing entries are journal entries made to close temporary accounts to the income summary; thus leaving only permanent accounts, which are carried over to the next accounting period.
