Q: Why may the subject be feeling blue ?
|
They are not in control.
The subject may be feeling blue because the statement implies that their identity, place, and sense of self is bestowed upon them, rather than something they actively control. They may feel a lack of agency or autonomy over their lives, which can lead to feelings of sadness or frustration.
The other options are not supported by the provided information:
- They are without a job: There is no mention of a job or employment situation in the statement.
- They are losing a family member: The statement doesn't mention a family member or the loss of a loved one.
- None of the above choices: This option is incorrect because "They are not in control" is a valid and relevant choice based on the given information.

The first sentence refers to "all the athletics teams of the University," while the second one states "all intercollegiate athletic teams from the university." The first sentence also mentions "the Intercollegiate Athletic Offices," while the second one says "sports offices," which is a more general term but still refers to the same offices.

Premise:
" "Yeah," he decided." Based on this premise, is the hypothesis "He did not want to do it." true?
Possible answers:
(a). yes.
(b). it is not possible to tell.
(c). no.
|
(b). it is not possible to tell.
The given premise, "Yeah," he decided," only tells us that the person made a decision. It does not provide any information about the specific decision or whether it aligns with the hypothesis "He did not want to do it." Therefore, there is not enough information to determine if the hypothesis is true or false. Answer (a) is incorrect because there is not enough information to confidently say "yes." Answer (c) is also incorrect because the provided statement does not contradict the hypothesis, so we cannot confidently say "no."

Multi-select problem: How does the next paragraph end?
How to collect a sterile urine sample
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Cleanse the urethra, the duct in which urine is expelled from the body, with a disinfecting towellete.
Separate the folds of the female genitalia.
Options: +Gently clean the vania, the small part that connects the anus and. Gently separate the labia to expose the gland beneath. +The region of the genital portion is located between the anus and the top part of the vagina. To remove the folds, you may use a muslin or silk cloth. +Cleanse using the disinfecting towellette with downward strokes. Open the sterile canister in which urine will be stored. +The tract connecting the genital folds and the vagina is referred to as the urethra. This folds and ducts is where urine enters.
|
+Cleanse using the disinfecting towellette with downward strokes. Open the sterile canister in which urine will be stored.
The correct answer is to cleanse using the disinfecting towellette with downward strokes and open the sterile canister in which urine will be stored. This is because it explains the proper way to clean the area to prepare it for a sterile urine sample collection and mentions opening the sterile canister for storing the urine.
The other options are wrong for the following reasons:
-Gently clean the vania, the small part that connects the anus and. Gently separate the labia to expose the gland beneath.
This option is incorrect because "vania" is not a correct anatomical term and the sentence seems incomplete. Also, it doesn't mention what to do after cleaning the area.
-The region of the genital portion is located between the anus and the top part of the vagina. To remove the folds, you may use a muslin or silk cloth.
This option contains irrelevant information about the genital portion and suggests using muslin or silk cloth to remove folds, which does not pertain to collecting a sterile urine sample.
-The tract connecting the genital folds and the vagina is referred to as the urethra. This folds and ducts is where urine enters.
This option is incorrect because it incorrectly describes the urethra's connection to the genital folds and vagina. The urethra is the duct where urine leaves the body, but the sentence structure and description here are confusing and not helpful for the task of collecting a sterile urine sample.

I think some people that are giving this place 4-5 stars need to revisit and adjust their reviews. This restaurant is of no higher quality than Roberto's and that's not saying much. Despite Phat Frank's accommodating personality, I don't see the quality here. I stopped here for lunch last week only because I happen to be in the Sunset and Decatur area and the listing had some good reviews from people I actually know. Well, I don't trust any of you anymore...OK I'm kidding, sort of. Selection: "Steak" Burrito upgraded to "wet" with red sauce. I was not a fan of this offering due to the fact that the "steak" was more like ground beef, the burrito was barely warm (bordering on room temperature) and the red sauce was essentially watered down ketchup and had no kick to it whatsoever. Overall the meal was a disappointment. I'm not sure how a burrito that is made on the spot is sent out room temperature but that's what I got. Phact: I won't be back.
Choose: was this review given positively or negatively?
OPTIONS: a). negative; b). positive;
|
a). negative
This review is given negatively. The reviewer expresses disappointment with the food quality, specifically the steak burrito, mentions it being barely warm, and criticizes the red sauce as being like watered-down ketchup. They also state that they won't be back, which is another indicator of a negative review. The positive parts mentioned, such as Phat Frank's accommodating personality, are outweighed by the negativity towards the meal.

Are these paraphrases?

It also adds to the personality of the Holly Golightly character played by Audrey Hepburn .
OPT:
1). no.
2). yes.
|
2). yes.
These sentences are paraphrases because they convey the same meaning using different expressions. In both sentences, the main idea is that Audrey Hepburn's portrayal adds to the personality of the character Holly Golightly. The first sentence puts the element "Audrey Hepburn" before "played by Holly Golightly," whereas the second sentence reverses the order, placing "Holly Golightly character" before "played by Audrey Hepburn." Both sentences ultimately express the same point, making them paraphrases. Option 1, which states 'no,' is incorrect since the two sentences do have the same meaning despite their structural differences.

Choose the next sentence.(CNN)A little under two years ago, Borussia Dortmund was a mere 90 minutes away from being crowned champion of Europe. The Champions League final against domestic rival Bayern Munich at Wembley on May 25, 2013 didn't quite go to plan, but for a team that had won back-to-back German Bundesliga titles against the odds in the previous two seasons, there was still plenty to smile about. "We will come back, maybe not to Wembley, but we will try to come back to another final," Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp said after the final whistle. Fast-forward to February 2015, and the club with such lofty ambitions finds itself bottom of a Bundesliga table it had previously been used to ruling.
Klopp's men slumped to a 1-0 defeat at home to a side reduced to 10 men, with further salt rubbed into the wound by the fact that
OPTIONS:
- Augsburg had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- Bayern Munich had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- Borussia Dortmund had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- Bundesliga had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- CNN had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- Champions League had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- Dortmund had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- Europe had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- German had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- German Bundesliga had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- Jurgen Klopp had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
- Wembley had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
|
- Augsburg had never before beaten Dortmund in its history.
The correct answer is that Augsburg had never before beaten Dortmund in its history. This statement adds to the gravity of the situation, as Borussia Dortmund's defeat at home came at the hands of a team that had not previously managed to beat them.
The incorrect answers are:
- Bayern Munich had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This is incorrect because Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are familiar rivals, and Bayern Munich has beaten Dortmund before.
- Borussia Dortmund had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This statement is illogical because a team cannot play against itself.
- Bundesliga had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This is incorrect because the Bundesliga is a football league, not a team that can play against and beat other teams.
- CNN had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This statement is irrelevant because CNN is a news network, not a football team.
- Champions League had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This is incorrect because the Champions League is a football competition, not a team that can play against and beat other teams.
- Dortmund had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This statement is illogical because a team cannot play against itself.
- Europe had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This statement is too vague, as Europe comprises many football teams from various countries.
- German had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This option is incorrect and grammatically incorrect. German refers to nationality, not a specific team.
- German Bundesliga had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This statement is incorrect because the German Bundesliga is a football league, not a team that can play against and beat other teams.
- Jurgen Klopp had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This statement is misleading because Jurgen Klopp is the coach of Borussia Dortmund, not a team that competes against it.
- Wembley had never before beaten Dortmund in its history: This is incorrect because Wembley is a stadium, not a football team.

A misdemeanor (American English, spelled misdemeanour in British English) is any ``lesser'' criminal act in some common law legal systems. Misdemeanors are generally punished less severely than felonies, but theoretically more so than administrative infractions (also known as minor, petty, or summary offences) and regulatory offences. Many misdemeanors are punished with monetary fines.
Multi-choice problem: Is it true that is a felony the same as a misdemeanor?
Choices: (1). no; (2). yes;
The answer is:
|
(1). no;
A felony is not the same as a misdemeanor. In the legal systems of many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, criminal offenses are categorized into different levels of severity. Felonies are considered more serious crimes, while misdemeanors are considered less serious. Felonies often carry more severe penalties, such as longer prison sentences, compared to misdemeanors, which generally have lighter penalties, like fines or short-term imprisonment.

Does the following review have a positive or negative opinion of the movie?
criminal
Options:
(I) negative.
(II) positive.

(I) negative.
The review contains the word "criminal" which implies that the movie may have some negative aspects, such as a flawed storyline or poor production values. This word's negative connotation leads to the conclusion that the reviewer has a negative opinion of the movie. Answer (II) is incorrect because "criminal" does not convey a positive opinion.

The reviewer expresses some criticisms in the beginning of the review, mentioning that the film is not well shot, composed, or edited, and has issues with the score and dialogue. However, the overall opinion is positive, as the reviewer states that "the film shatters you in waves." This positive statement indicates that the movie is impactful and powerful, despite its flaws.

The two phrases do not convey the same meaning. The first phrase implies that there is a limited incorporation, specifically used in reflexive constructions. The second phrase indicates that there is reflexive incorporation, specifically used in limited constructions. The key difference is that the first phrase talks about a limited use of incorporation in reflexive constructions, while the second phrase discusses the reflexive incorporation used only in those constructions that are limited in nature.

Choose the next sentence for this paragraph.
By Jason Groves for the Daily Mail Ukip last night warned they will target Boris Johnson over his support for a migrant amnesty if the Conservatives try to use him to erode their support. Tory sources yesterday confirmed that the London Mayor will be deployed as a ‘Ukip killer’ in next year’s general election, following confirmation that he wants to return to parliament. Mr Johnson has agreed to carry out a tour of key marginal seats, where Conservative strategists believe he may be able to persuade traditional voters who have defected to Ukip to return to the Tory fold. Nigel Farage, right, has warned the Conservative Party that he will target Boris Johnson over migrant amnesty
Mr
OPTIONS:
- Boris Johnson said he was ‘very confident’ that Ukip will win its first seats in parliament next year – and said he would quit as leader if the party fails to make the breakthrough.

|
Nigel Farage said he was ‘very confident’ that Ukip will win its first seats in parliament next year – and said he would quit as leader if the party fails to make the breakthrough.
The correct answer is "Nigel Farage said he was ‘very confident’ that Ukip will win its first seats in parliament next year – and said he would quit as leader if the party fails to make the breakthrough." because Farage is the leader of Ukip and the statement is consistent with the context that Ukip is warning the Conservatives. The other options are incorrect because they involve people or entities that are not the Ukip leader or are not relevant to the context of the paragraph.

Victims of domestic violence will have access to quality legal representation through a campaign undertaken by Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice Linda Copple Trout and corporate leaders. "Thousands of times a year, Idahoans are victims of domestic violence. The victims are often women and their children and they frequently have few resources with which to pursue their legal rights," Trout said Tuesday. "This campaign helps fill that gap in legal services for women who need the help at a time when they are in crisis." The Idaho Partners for Justice Project has already secured pledges of more than $35,000 from law firms, attorneys, corporations and individuals. The goal is $100,000. The drive to pay for free legal services will continue for the next two months. The money goes to Idaho Legal Aid Services and the Idaho Volunteer Lawyers Program. Last year, more than 5,000 petitions were filed in Idaho for protection orders in domestic violence cases. More than 12,000 victims contacted shelters or crisis hotlines. Joining Trout in the announcement was Idaho Bar Association President Fred Hoopes of Idaho Falls and Ida-West Energy Co. Chief Executive Officer Randy Hill, members of the project's executive committee. Also on hand were some women who were victims of such violence, but benefited from free legal services. Last year's campaign generated enough money and resources to help more than 450 victims. The help ranged from representation in protection order hearings to legal assistance in divorce, visitation and child support cases. The donations are tax deductible.
After reading the above, is "Representation in protection order hearings to legal assistance in divorce, visitation and child support cases" the correct answer to the question "What kind of help did 450 victims receive last year?"?
Available choices:
1). no.
2). yes.
|
The correct answer is:
2). yes.
The passage states that "The help ranged from representation in protection order hearings to legal assistance in divorce, visitation and child support cases." This specifies the type of legal assistance offered to victims of domestic violence. Therefore, "Representation in protection order hearings to legal assistance in divorce, visitation and child support cases" is the correct answer to the question, "What kind of help did 450 victims receive last year?"
Option 1 is incorrect simply because it contradicts the information given in the text. The text explicitly states the forms of help provided last year, hence denying this would be inaccurate based on the context provided.

Single/multi-select question: Does the sentence "Some regions conversely had population falls – Belgrade saw its population drop from 25,000 to 8,000 mainly due to political strife." provide a valid answer to the question "The rise of ports caused what in populations?"
pick from the following.
(a). yes
(b). no
|
(b). no
The sentence "Some regions conversely had population falls – Belgrade saw its population drop from 25,000 to 8,000 mainly due to political strife." does not provide a valid answer to the question "The rise of ports caused what in populations?" because it does not mention any correlation with the rise of ports. The population fall in Belgrade is attributed to political strife, not the rise of ports. Hence, it does not directly answer the question.
Answer (a) "yes" would be incorrect as the statement provided does not demonstrate any connection or effect due to the rise of ports on populations.

Sentence 1: The Edict of Nantes was signed in 1598 to protect the Prot?es?tants, and five years later the Jesuits were allowed back into France.
Sentence 2: The leader disliked religion, but let the people in anyway to show he was nice.
a). yes; b). it is not possible to tell; c). no;
Is this second sentence entailed by the first sentence?
|
c). no
The second sentence is not entailed by the first sentence. The first sentence provides specific historical information about the Edict of Nantes and the Jesuits. It states the purpose was to protect the Protestants and does not mention the leader's opinion on religion. The second sentence implies that the leader dislikes religion but allows people in to appear nice. There is not enough information in the first sentence to support the claims made in the second sentence. This shows that the second sentence is not entailed by the first sentence.

Paragraph: The Glory of Melaka: In the early days, if you were not a pirate or a mosquito, Melaka was not much of a place to live. The land was infertile, just a swampy plain, the river small and sluggish. But it had a sheltered harbor, protected from the monsoons by neighboring Sumatra. Later, the strategic location and deep-water channel close to the coast brought in the bigger vessels of the trade-wind traffic crossing the Indian Ocean. The first to realize the larger commercial potential, as so often throughout the country's subsequent history, were the Chinese. In 1409, under a new directive from Emperor Chu Ti to pursue trade in the South Seas and the Indian Ocean, a Chinese fleet of 50 ships headed by Admiral Cheng Ho called in at Melaka. They made Parameswara an offer he could not refuse: port facilities and an annual financial tribute in exchange for Chinese protection against the marauding Thais. In 1411, Parameswara took the money to Beijing himself, and the emperor gratefully made him a vassal king. Twenty years later, the Chinese withdrew again from the South Seas trade. The new ruler of Melaka, Sri Maharajah, switched his allegiance to the Muslim trading fraternity by marrying into the Muslim faith, wedding the daughter of a sultan in Sumatra. Islam won its place in Malaya not by conquest — as had been the case in North Africa and Europe — but by trade, dynastic alliances, and peaceful preaching. Bengali peddlers had already brought the faith to the east coast. In Melaka and throughout the peninsula, Islam thrived as a strong, male-dominated religion of individuality, offering dynamic leadership and preaching brotherhood and self-reliance — all qualities ideally suited to the coastal trade. At the same time, Sufi mystics synthesized Islamic teaching with local Malay traditions of animistic magic and charisma, though Islam did not become the state religion until Muzaffar Shah became sultan of Melaka (1446–1459). But the key figure in the sultanate was Tun Perak, bendahara (prime minister) and military commander. He expanded Melaka's power along the west coast and down to Singapore and the neighboring Bintan islands. He also had orang laut pirates patrolling the seas to extort tribute from passing ships. After Ailied district chiefs had repelled assaults from Thai-controlled armies from Pahang, Tun Perak personally led a famous victory over a Thai fleet off Batu Pahat in 1456.
Question: "Who was the first emperor to notice the commercial potential to Melaka?"
Answer: "Emperor Chu Ti"
Based on the paragraph, choose if the answer is correct:
Choose from:
a). no;
b). yes;
|
Answer: b). yes;
Emperor Chu Ti is described in the paragraph as the first to realize the larger commercial potential of Melaka. The Chinese fleet of 50 ships, headed by Admiral Cheng Ho, called in at Melaka in 1409 under a new directive from Emperor Chu Ti to pursue trade in the South Seas and the Indian Ocean.

Here is a premise:
News ' Web shopping package centers on the America Online-Netscape merger.
Here is a hypothesis:
The merger was a huge business opportunity for the package centers to be developed.
Here are the options: Available options: - yes; - it is not possible to tell; - no;
Is it possible to conclude that if the premise is true, then so is the hypothesis?
|
It is not possible to tell.
Based on the premise, we know that the web shopping package centers on the America Online-Netscape merger. However, it does not provide enough information about the actual impact or opportunity the merger had on the package centers. We cannot infer that the merger was a "huge business opportunity" for the package centers.
"Yes" and "no" are incorrect options because the premise does not provide definitive evidence to support or refute the hypothesis. There is not enough information to draw a conclusion about the relationship between the merger and the development of the package centers.

Multi-choice question: Same meaning?
The Boul River is a tributary of the Galbena River in Romania .
The Galbena River is a tributary of the River Boul in Romania .
Select from:
+ no;
+ yes;
|
+ no;
The correct answer is "no" because the two sentences indicate different relationships between the Boul River and the Galbena River.
In the first sentence, the Boul River is a tributary of the Galbena River, implying that the Boul River flows into the Galbena River. In the second sentence, the Galbena River is a tributary of the River Boul, implying that the Galbena River flows into the Boul River.
These relationships are opposite, and thus the two sentences do not have the same meaning.

Based on the premise "You miss a lot. ", can we conclude the hypothesis "You miss a lot because you can't focus." is true (see options)?
Possible answers:
(A). yes.
(B). it is not possible to tell.
(C). no.
|
(B). it is not possible to tell.
Explanation: From the premise "You miss a lot." we can infer that the person has trouble catching or comprehending something. However, we don't have enough information to conclude that it's specifically because they "can't focus." There could be other reasons for missing a lot, such as poor communication, distractions, lack of interest, or lack of understanding.

If you're looking for the cheapest pint this New Year's Eve, head to Leeds, while Birmingham is your best bet for the most affordable bed for the night. With people all over the UK getting ready to don their party gear for the most celebrated night of the year, it pays to do your research for the best overall experience. And it's Birmingham that comes out as the cheapest for the action packed night of beers, club entry, taxi journey and hotel room stay, averaging at £111.38 per person. The most expensive for the same thrills is Edinburgh, costing on average £308.10.
'We were really interested to see that certain myths, such as
OPTIONS:
- Birmingham having the most pubs per square mile, could be so easily busted.
- Dublin having the most pubs per square mile, could be so easily busted.
- Edinburgh having the most pubs per square mile, could be so easily busted.
- Leeds having the most pubs per square mile, could be so easily busted.
- New Year's Eve having the most pubs per square mile, could be so easily busted.
- UK having the most pubs per square mile, could be so easily busted.
|
- Birmingham having the most pubs per square mile, could be so easily busted.
In this context, Birmingham is the correct choice as it was mentioned in the passage that it offers the most affordable overall experience on New Year's Eve. The other options are incorrect because:
- Dublin and Edinburgh are not mentioned as having the most or least pubs per square mile.
- Leeds is mentioned as having the cheapest pint, not necessarily the most pubs per square mile.
- New Year's Eve and UK are events and locations, not cities that can have a specific number of pubs per square mile.

After the death of Spitamenes and his marriage to Roxana (Roshanak in Bactrian) to cement relations with his new satrapies, Alexander turned to the Indian subcontinent. He invited the chieftains of the former satrapy of Gandhara, in the north of what is now Pakistan, to come to him and submit to his authority. Omphis(Indian name Ambhi Kumar), the ruler of Taxila, whose kingdom extended from the Indus to the Hydaspes (Jhelum), complied, but the chieftains of some hill clans, including the Aspasioi and Assakenoi sections of the Kambojas (known in Indian texts also as Ashvayanas and Ashvakayanas), refused to submit. Ambhi hastened to relieve Alexander of his apprehension and met him with valuable presents, placing himself and all his forces at his disposal. Alexander not only returned Ambhi his title and the gifts but he also presented him with a wardrobe of "Persian robes, gold and silver ornaments, 30 horses and 1000 talents in gold". Alexander was emboldened to divide his forces, and Ambhi assisted Hephaestion and Perdiccas in constructing a bridge over the Indus where it bends at Hund (Fox 1973), supplied their troops with provisions, and received Alexander himself, and his whole army, in his capital city of Taxila, with every demonstration of friendship and the most liberal hospitality. On the subsequent advance of the Macedonian king, Taxiles accompanied him with a force of 5000 men and took part in the battle of the Hydaspes River. After that victory he was sent by Alexander in pursuit of Porus, to whom he was charged to offer favourable terms, but narrowly escaped losing his life at the hands of his old enemy. Subsequently, however, the two rivals were reconciled by the personal mediation of Alexander; and Taxiles, after having contributed zealously to the equipment of the fleet on the Hydaspes, was entrusted by the king with the government of the whole territory between that river and the Indus. A considerable accession of power was granted him after the death of Philip, son of Machatas; and he was allowed to retain his authority at the death of Alexander himself (323 BC), as well as in the subsequent partition of the provinces at Triparadisus, 321 BC. In the winter of 327/326 BC, Alexander personally led a campaign against these clans; the Aspasioi of Kunar valleys, the Guraeans of the Guraeus valley, and the Assakenoi of the Swat and Buner valleys. A fierce contest ensued with the Aspasioi in which Alexander was wounded in the shoulder by a dart, but eventually the Aspasioi lost. Alexander then faced the Assakenoi, who fought in the strongholds of Massaga, Ora and Aornos. The fort of Massaga was reduced only after days of bloody fighting, in which Alexander was wounded seriously in the ankle. According to Curtius, "Not only did Alexander slaughter the entire population of Massaga, but also did he reduce its buildings to rubble". A similar slaughter followed at Ora. In the aftermath of Massaga and Ora, numerous Assakenians fled to the fortress of Aornos. Alexander followed close behind and captured the strategic hill-fort after four bloody days.
Choose your answer: According to the above paragraph, the correct answer to the question "What did Alexander do following the death of his wife Roxana?" is "He invited the chieftains of the former satrapy of Gandhara to come to him and submit to his authority"?
OPTIONS: (a). no (b). yes
|
(b). yes
According to the text above, after the death of Spitamenes and his marriage to Roxana, Alexander turned to the Indian subcontinent and invited the chieftains of the former satrapy of Gandhara to come to him and submit to his authority. Therefore, the correct answer to the question "What did Alexander do following the death of his wife Roxana?" is "He invited the chieftains of the former satrapy of Gandhara to come to him and submit to his authority".

(CNN) -- Declaring 2010 "The best year in safety performance in our company's history," Transocean Ltd., owner of the Gulf of Mexico oil rig that exploded, killing 11 workers, has awarded its top executives hefty bonuses and raises, according to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That includes a $200,000 salary increase for Transocean president and chief executive officer Steven L. Newman, whose base salary will increase from $900,000 to $1.1 million, according to the SEC report. Newman's bonus was $374,062, the report states. Newman also has a $5.4 million long-term compensation package the company awarded him upon his appointment as CEO in March 2010, according to the SEC filing. The latest cash awards are based in part on the company's "performance under safety," the Transocean filing states. "Notwithstanding the tragic loss of life in the Gulf of Mexico, we achieved an exemplary statistical safety record as measured by our total recordable incident rate and total potential severity rate," the SEC statement reads. "As measured by these standards, we recorded the best year in safety performance in our Company's history." The company called that record "a reflection on our commitment to achieving an incident-free environment, all the time, everywhere," the SEC filing states. The company did not respond to an e-mail from CNN seeking comment. The April 20, 2010, explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig injured 17 workers and killed 11 others, including nine Transocean employees, according to the SEC filing. It has been called the worst spill in U.S. history. The well was capped three months later, but not before millions of barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf. In January, President Barack Obama's National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling released a report that spread blame for the accident among Transocean, BP -- which leased the rig -- and Halliburton, which installed the rig's cement casing.
Choose your answer: According to the above paragraph, the correct answer to the question "List some of the effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion" is "killed 20 workers"?
Choose from:
a). no.
b). yes.
|
a). no.
The correct answer is "no" because the passage states that the Deepwater Horizon explosion killed 11 workers, not 20. The explosion also injured 17 workers, but the question specifically asked for the number of workers killed.

(CNN) -- The beating of Rodney King 20 years ago Thursday marked the end of a 100-mph car chase and the beginning of a chain of events that would forever change Los Angeles, its police department and the racial conversation in the United States. King, then a 25-year-old convicted robber on parole, admittedly had a few drinks under his belt as he headed home from a friend's house. When he spotted a police car following him, he panicked, thinking he would be sent back to prison. So he took off. "I had a job to go to that Monday, and I knew I was on parole, and I knew I wasn't supposed to be drinking, and I'm like, 'Oh my God,' " King told CNN in a recent interview.

OPTIONS:
- CNN -- and no doubt in other parts of the country -- had evidence to document the police brutality many had known but most of America had always denied or tolerated.
- King -- and no doubt in other parts of the country -- had evidence to document the police brutality many had known but most of America had always denied or tolerated.
- Los Angeles -- and no doubt in other parts of the country -- had evidence to document the police brutality many had known but most of America had always denied or tolerated.
- Oh my God -- and no doubt in other parts of the country -- had evidence to document the police brutality many had known but most of America had always denied or tolerated.
- Race and Rage -- and no doubt in other parts of the country -- had evidence to document the police brutality many had known but most of America had always denied or tolerated.
- Rodney King -- and no doubt in other parts of the country -- had evidence to document the police brutality many had known but most of America had always denied or tolerated.
- United States -- and no doubt in other parts of the country -- had evidence to document the police brutality many had known but most of America had always denied or tolerated.

Los Angeles -- and no doubt in other parts of the country -- had evidence to document the police brutality many had known but most of America had always denied or tolerated.
Explanation: This answer is the most appropriate as it shows how the beating of Rodney King provided hard evidence for the police brutality issue in Los Angeles and likely in other parts of the country as well. Other options are incorrect because:
- "CNN" focuses on the news network rather than the city or people affected.
- "King" refers to Rodney King himself, but the sentence should refer to a larger group.
- "Oh my God" is not a relevant choice as it's a quote from King and doesn't represent a group or location.
- "Race and Rage" is not fitting as it does not refer to a specific location or group of people.
- "Rodney King" is again referring to the individual, not the larger affected population.
- "United States" is too broad; while the entire country was affected by this event, the immediate impact was primarily on Los Angeles and its police department.

How would the sentiment of this tweet be described?
Available choices:

The sentiment of this tweet can be described as negative because the games being cancelled is most likely an undesirable or disappointing event for the person expressing their feelings. They used the word "cancelled," which conveys that the games aren't happening as planned, thus creating a negative sentiment. The other choice, positive, does not fit because there is no indication of a positive emotion or outcome in the tweet.

In the second sentence, the lowest temperature ever recorded in Pokhara was on May 4, 2013, and the highest temperature ever recorded was on January 13, 2012.

A man is sitting on a black mat in a gym. he
OPT: (a). begins spinning his body around. (b). takes his arm off and throws it on the ground. (c). lays back and does crunches on the mat. (d). gets up and starts dancing.
The answer is:
|
(c). lays back and does crunches on the mat.
Explanation:
(a) It is uncommon for someone to spin their body around on a mat at the gym, as it is not a typical exercise.
(b) This option is impossible, as humans cannot remove their arms and throw them on the ground.
(d) While it is not impossible for someone to get up and start dancing in a gym, it's less probable than doing crunches, especially when they were sitting on the mat which generally indicates a purpose related to exercise. Therefore, the most logical and commonsense answer is (c), as laying back and doing crunches on the mat is a reasonable and typical exercise to perform in a gym.

What issue with the author's car has recently worsened, and how much is the estimated cost to repair it?
Correct Answer: The car's antifreeze leak has worsened, and the repair cost is estimated to be between $500 - $700.
Explanation: The text states that the author found out their car still has an antifreeze leak, which is now worse than before, and the estimated cost for repair is between $500 and $700. Other answers might focus on unrelated details such as visiting Sinclair, going downtown, or the liquidation of McCallister's, which are incorrect because they are not about the main issue the author is facing - the car's antifreeze leak.

Q with options: Give answer the following question using evidence from the above passage: Why was the speaker able to take possession of a bike that had been earmarked for donation ?
OPTIONS:
i. The speaker 's grandfather was happy to see the bike go to good use with someone that he cared about.
ii. The speaker stole it from their grandparents before they could realize what had happened to the bike.
iii. None of the above choices ..
iv. The speaker 's grandfather ended up selling it to the speaker instead of donating it to the charity as planned.
|
i. The speaker 's grandfather was happy to see the bike go to good use with someone that he cared about.
The correct answer is option i because the passage states, "Today I went to my grandma 's house and got a bike from my grandpa that he was going to donate." There is no mention of theft, sale, or other actions in the passage. The speaker's grandfather simply decided to give the bike to the speaker instead of donating it after recognizing that the bike would be useful for their grandchild. Therefore, options ii and iv are incorrect. Option iii is also incorrect as there is a valid answer amongst the choices.

|
[b]. talk to the woman about ballet, and then bends and sways.
Explanation:
The correct answer is [b] because it is the most relevant continuation of the story. It maintains the narrative flow and sends a clear message about what the instructor is doing.
[a] is incorrect because it suggests that the instructor is pointing to various parts of the girl, which may be uncomfortable and inappropriate.
[c] is incorrect because it abruptly changes the subject to tools needed for ballet, which isn't a natural continuation of the conversation between the instructor and the woman.
[d] is incorrect because it suggests that the instructor is seating the girl, which does not fit the context of discussing and demonstrating ballet.

The answer should be
|
4). put the tile on the floor and adjust it while the other people in the room are watching him.
Explanation:
This answer makes the most sense in the context of the story, as it continues to describe work being done on the floor. The other answers are not as appropriate:
1). This option refers to a rental and painting the floors, which was not mentioned before and seems unrelated to the current situation of cleaning tile terminations.
2). In this option, one worker cleaning another worker's shoes and arms doesn't fit the context of working on the floor tiles.
3). Lifting a tile and revealing the exterior of the building is not a logical continuation of the story, as the focus is on cleaning and working on the floor.

We do not know exactly how the hijackers gained access to the cockpit; FAA rules required that the doors remain closed and locked during flight. Ong speculated that they had "jammed their way" in. Perhaps the terrorists stabbed the flight attendants to get a cockpit key, to force one of them to open the cockpit door, or to lure the captain or first officer out of the cockpit. Or the flight attendants may just have been in their way. At the same time or shortly thereafter, Atta-the only terrorist on board trained to fly a jet-would have moved to the cockpit from his business-class seat, possibly accompanied by Omari. As this was happening, passenger Daniel Lewin, who was seated in the row just behind Atta and Omari, was stabbed by one of the hijackers-probably Satam al Suqami, who was seated directly behind Lewin. Lewin had served four years as an officer in the Israeli military. He may have made an attempt to stop the hijackers in front of him, not realizing that another was sitting behind him. The hijackers quickly gained control and sprayed Mace, pepper spray, or some other irritant in the first-class cabin, in order to force the passengers and flight attendants toward the rear of the plane. They claimed they had a bomb. About five minutes after the hijacking began, Betty Ong contacted the American Airlines Southeastern Reservations Office in Cary, North Carolina, via an AT&T airphone to report an emergency aboard the flight. This was the first of several occasions on 9/11 when flight attendants took action outside the scope of their training, which emphasized that in a hijacking, they were to communicate with the cockpit crew. The emergency call lasted approximately 25 minutes, as Ong calmly and professionally relayed information about events taking place aboard the airplane to authorities on the ground. At 8:19, Ong reported:"The cockpit is not answering, somebody's stabbed in business class-and I think there's Mace-that we can't breathe-I don't know, I think we're getting hijacked." She then told of the stabbings of the two flight attendants. At 8:21, one of the American employees receiving Ong's call in North Carolina, Nydia Gonzalez, alerted the American Airlines operations center in Fort Worth, Texas, reaching Craig Marquis, the manager on duty. Marquis soon realized this was an emergency and instructed the airline's dispatcher responsible for the flight to contact the cockpit. At 8:23, the dispatcher tried unsuccessfully to contact the aircraft.
Choose from options: Based on the paragraph, does the response "Nydia Gonzalez" correctly answer the question "Who took action outside of her training?"?
Select from the following.
[a]. no.
[b]. yes.
|
[b]. yes.
The response "Nydia Gonzalez" correctly answers the question "Who took action outside of her training?" because, as stated in the text, this was one of the several occasions on 9/11 when flight attendants took action outside the scope of their training. The passage specifically mentions Betty Ong contacting the American Airlines Southeastern Reservations Office, where Nydia Gonzalez was one of the employees receiving Ong's call. Gonzalez then alerted the American Airlines operations center in Fort Worth, Texas, indicating her involvement in taking action outside the normal procedures during the hijacking.

The Grand Canyon of northern Arizona in the United States, with an average depth of 1,600 m (one mile) and a volume of 4.17 trillion cubic metres, is one of the world's largest canyons. It was among the 28 finalists of the New7Wonders of Nature worldwide poll. (Some referred to it as one of the 7 natural wonders of the world.) Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, Mexico is deeper and longer than the Grand Canyon.
Multi-choice problem: Is it true that is the grand canyon the biggest canyon in the world?
Choose your answer from: -- no -- yes
The answer is:
|
no
The Grand Canyon is not the biggest canyon in the world. Although it is among the largest and most famous canyons, there are other canyons that are deeper and longer. One example is the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon in Tibet, which is considered the deepest and longest canyon in the world. Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, Mexico is also deeper and longer than the Grand Canyon.

Here is a single or multi-choice question: What is a movie that Kevin Costner made about Sioux Indians ?
Would the answer to this question be an entity, an abbreviation, a description, a human, a location, or a numeric value?
Available options: 1. description; 2. entity; 3. abbreviation; 4. human; 5. numeric; 6. location;
|
2. entity
The answer to this question would be an entity. The movie that Kevin Costner made about Sioux Indians is called "Dances with Wolves." It is considered an entity because it is a specific, identifiable thing (in this case, a movie title). The other options are incorrect because:
1. Description: This refers to a general explanation or description of something, not a specific movie title.
3. Abbreviation: This would imply a shortened version of a name or phrase, not a movie title.
4. Human: The answer is a movie title, not a person.
5. Numeric: The answer is a movie title, which is not a numerical value.
6. Location: The answer is a movie title, not a geographical place.

Paragraph: In Hamburg, Jarrah had a succession of living accommodations, but he apparently never resided with his future co-conspirators. It is not clear how and when he became part of Atta's circle. He became particularly friendly with Binalshibh after meeting him at the Quds mosque in Hamburg, which Jarrah began attending regularly in late 1997. The worshippers at this mosque featured an outspoken, flamboyant Islamist named Mohammed Haydar Zammar. A well-known figure in the Muslim community (and to German and U.S. intelligence agencies by the late 1990s), Zammar had fought in Afghanistan and relished any opportunity to extol the virtues of violent jihad. Indeed, a witness has reported hearing Zammar press Binalshibh to fulfill his duty to wage jihad. Moreover, after 9/11, Zammar reportedly took credit for influencing not just Binalshibh but the rest of the Hamburg group. In 1998, Zammar encouraged them to participate in jihad and even convinced them to go to Afghanistan. Owing to Zammar's persuasion or some other source of inspiration, Atta, Binalshibh, Shehhi, and Jarrah eventually prepared themselves to translate their extremist beliefs into action. By late 1999, they were ready to abandon their student lives in Germany in favor of violent jihad. This final stage in their evolution toward embracing Islamist extremism did not entirely escape the notice of the people around them. The foursome became core members of a group of radical Muslims, often hosting sessions at their Marienstrasse apartment that involved extremely anti-American discussions. Meeting three to four times a week, the group became something of a "sect" whose members, according to one participant in the meetings, tended to deal only with each other. Atta's rent checks for the apartment provide evidence of the importance that the apartment assumed as a center for the group, as he would write on them the notation "Dar el Ansar," or "house of the followers." In addition to Atta, Binalshibh, Shehhi, and Jarrah, the group included other extremists, some of whom also would attend al Qaeda training camps and, in some instances, would help the 9/11 hijackers as they executed the plot: Said Bahaji, son of a Moroccan immigrant, was the only German citizen in the group. Educated in Morocco, Bahaji returned to Germany to study electrical engineering at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg. He spent five months in the German army before obtaining a medical discharge, and lived with Atta and Binalshibh at 54 Marienstrasse for eight months between November 1998 and July 1999. Described as an insecure follower with no personality and with limited knowledge of Islam, Bahaji nonetheless professed his readiness to engage in violence.
Question: "Who is a well-known figure in the Muslim community who worshipers at the Quds mosque describe as an outspoken, flamboyant Islamist?"
Answer: "Jarrah"
Based on the paragraph, choose if the answer is correct:
[1]. no
[2]. yes
|
1. no
The correct answer is not "Jarrah." The well-known figure in the Muslim community, who worshipers at the Quds mosque described as an outspoken, flamboyant Islamist, is Mohammed Haydar Zammar. The paragraph states that Zammar was a well-known figure to German and U.S. intelligence agencies by the late 1990s, and had fought in Afghanistan. He was known for encouraging violent jihad and reportedly influenced the Hamburg group, including Binalshibh.

Multi-select: Knowing that "a spider web is used to capture food by spiders", how would one answer "Spiders catch their prey with"
Possible answers: (I). a silky thread (II). trickery (III). seduction (IV). a flyswatter...A:
|
(I). a silky thread
Spiders catch their prey using a silky thread because they spin intricate webs made from silk, which they use to trap and catch their prey.
(II). Trickery is incorrect because although a spider's web can be considered a form of trap, it is not an active form of deception. Spiders generally do not use trickery to capture prey.
(III). Seduction is not applicable to spiders because they do not use any form of attraction or luring behavior in capturing their prey. They simply rely on the web to catch insects that become trapped.
(IV). A flyswatter is not relevant, as it is a human-made tool that is not used by spiders to catch prey. Spiders rely on their webs to capture food.

What's the most logical way to complete this passage?
(Mental Floss) -- Being a product of the Delaware school system, I can't help but love Quakers. My middle and junior high schools were located on a Meeting House Lane. Pacifism, abolitionism and tolerance have always seemed like good ideas to me. And I'm a total sucker for Quaker Oats packaging. Richard Nixon married Patricia in a 1940 Quaker ceremony at the Mission Inn in Riverside, California. But the fact is, aside from William Penn and Betsy Ross, I really don't know that many famous Quakers. So I decided to look 'em up. Here's what I found... 1. Richard Nixon
In her own words, "I grew up... in a Quaker family, and for me being
OPTIONS:
- Betsy Ross was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Bonnie Raitt was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- California was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Delaware was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Edward R. Murrow was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- James Dean was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Judi Dench was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Meeting House Lane was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Mental Floss was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Mission Inn was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Pacifism was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Patricia was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Quaker was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Quaker Oats was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Quakers was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Richard Nixon was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- Riverside was a political calling rather than a religious one."
- William Penn was a political calling rather than a religious one."
|
- Bonnie Raitt was a political calling rather than a religious one."
The correct answer is Bonnie Raitt because this option makes the most sense when placed in the context of the passage. The author mentioned earlier that they don't know many famous Quakers and then proceeds to list Richard Nixon. It makes sense that they would continue talking about other famous Quakers they found during their research, and Bonnie Raitt would fit the context of the sentence.
The other options can be determined as incorrect for various reasons. Here's why:
The options referring to geographical locations, organizations, or objects, such as Meeting House Lane, California, Delaware, Mental Floss, Mission Inn, Quaker Oats, and Riverside, are incorrect because they don't represent a person who the author could be quoting.
The options referring to individuals like Betsy Ross and William Penn are incorrect because they were already mentioned earlier in the passage, and the author's intent is to provide new information.
The options referring to political or religious beliefs, such as pacifism or Quakers, are incorrect because they are not people but concepts or groups.
The options mentioning individuals, such as Edward R. Murrow, James Dean, and Judi Dench, are incorrect because they are not well-known for their association with Quakerism.
The option referring to Patricia is incorrect because the context of the passage suggests that the "In her own words" quote refers to a well-known individual connected to Quakerism, and Patricia is mentioned only as the wife of Richard Nixon but not as a famous Quaker herself.
The option mentioning Richard Nixon is incorrect because he was already discussed earlier in the passage, and the context suggests the author intended to provide additional information about other famous Quakers.

See the multi-choice question below:
Sentence 1: Sacre! he murmured.
Sentence 2: "Sacre!" he said to himself.
If the first sentence is true, then is the second sentence true?
Select from the following. [+] yes; [+] it is not possible to tell; [+] no;
|
[+] it is not possible to tell;
Explanation: In the first sentence, we only know that the person murmured "Sacre!". In the second sentence, we know that the person said "Sacre!" to himself. While it is possible that the person murmured the phrase to himself, we do not have enough information to be certain about this. This means that it's not possible to tell if the second sentence is true or not based on the information provided in the first sentence. The answers "yes" and "no" are incorrect because they would imply a definitive relationship between the two sentences, which we do not have.

The northern border of this municipality is also the southern border of the Lahemaa National Park .
Are these two sentences paraphrases of each other?
Possible answers: 1. no. 2. yes.
|
2. yes.
These two sentences are paraphrases of each other because they convey the same meaning using different sentence structures. In both sentences, the main idea is that the borders of the municipality and Lahemaa National Park share a common boundary. The first sentence starts by describing the southern border of the municipality, while the second sentence starts by describing the northern border of the Lahemaa National Park. However, both sentences end up expressing the same relationship between the two borders.

Options are:

|
[+] race with one another to make a goal across the intertube when a goalie blocks their shot.
The correct answer is: "The athletes race with one another to make a goal across the intertube when a goalie blocks their shot." This sentence maintains the focus on the ongoing match and continues describing the athletes' actions within that context.
Option 1 "run through stadiums and speak to the camera about being a professional athlete." is incorrect because it abruptly shifts the focus from the match to a change of scenery and another unrelated activity.
Option 2 "have a medal drawn and hug with people on the sidelines." is incorrect as it jumps to the conclusion of the event or a future accomplishment, instead of continuing the story of the ongoing match.
Option 3 "drive off the field and bike on some roads." is incorrect because it also shifts the focus from the match by introducing an unrelated activity and leaving the field.

How does the sentence end?
By Janine Yaqoob PUBLISHED: 08:32 EST, 10 May 2013 | UPDATED: 11:08 EST, 10 May 2013 A surge of millions of baby eels in the River Severn this spring has meant local restaurants can serve the delicacy for the first time in years. Elver catches in the river around Gloucester have been their highest for 30 years - meaning there are enough of the tiny worm-like fish to make their way onto British menus at cut down prices. This year numbers could reach up to 100million - ten times more than last year. Millions more elver eels have appeared in the River Severn meaning restaurants can now serve them for the first time in years and at cut-down prices
far, 660,000
OPTIONS:
- British elvers have been donated for re-stocking rivers in
- Elver elvers have been donated for re-stocking rivers in
- Gloucester elvers have been donated for re-stocking rivers in
- Janine Yaqoob elvers have been donated for re-stocking rivers in
- River Severn elvers have been donated for re-stocking rivers in
|
- British elvers have been donated for re-stocking rivers in
Other options are wrong because:
- Elver elvers is incorrect and repetitive;
- Gloucester elvers cannot be donated as the term "Gloucester elvers" does not accurately represent the baby eels;
- Janine Yaqoob elvers refers to someone's name, which is unrelated to the subject of the sentence;
- River Severn elvers specifically refers to elvers found in the River Severn but does not denote the overarching identifier of their origin, which would be British.
The correct option is "British elvers have been donated for re-stocking rivers in" because it indicates that these elvers are from Britain, therefore connecting them to the mentioned River Severn and the context of the article.

How would the sentiment of this sentence be perceived --
Available options: (I). negative (II). positive
Answer:
|
(I). negative
The sentiment of the sentence "dangerously collide" would be perceived as negative. This is because it brings up the idea of potential harm or risk due to a collision, which is generally regarded as an unfavorable occurrence. The word "dangerously" particularly reinforces the negative sentiment, as it implies a threat to safety. Meanwhile, the positive option is incorrect, as there is no indication of a favorable or beneficial situation within the sentence.

Israeli air strikes kill 16 in Gaza
Israel air strikes kill 4 in Gaza; death toll now at 38
On a scale from 0 to 5, where 0 is "no meaning overlap" and 5 is "means the same thing", how closely does the first sentence resemble the second one?
Pick your answer from:
[A]. 0.
[B]. 1.
[C]. 2.
[D]. 3.
[E]. 4.
[F]. 5.
|
[E]. 4.
The two sentences share significant meaning overlap, as they both discuss Israeli air strikes in Gaza and the death toll resulting from these events. However, they differ in the reported number of casualties in each sentence (16 and 4). The second sentence also provides information about the overall death toll which is not present in the first sentence. Due to these differences, they cannot be considered identical or given a rating of 5. The other options (0, 1, 2, and 3) indicate lesser degrees of overlap, which do not accurately reflect the similarities shared by these two sentences.

The film underwent a lot of name changes throughout its production phase from The Ring to Rahnuma to Raula until it was finalised with Jab Harry Met Sejal. When the title of the film was finally revealed, it received considerable backlash from people who accused that it must be a copy of the 1989 Hollywood iconic film When Harry Met Sally... or that it must have been inspired by it. However, contrary to popular beliefs, the two films have no similarity or connection with one another except both falls under the same genre and the two protagonist start off as strangers. Khan explained, ``When Harry Met Sally... is one of the greatest love stories ever made in the history of world cinema. Our film on the other hand, is quite original, a fun space love story by Imtiaz Ali. But it is a takeoff from there as that movie is a classic. It is a way to attribute.''
Based on the above text, what's the best answer to this question: jab harry met sejal a copy of when harry met sally?
OPTIONS:
[-] no;
[-] yes;
|
[-] no;
The text states that Jab Harry Met Sejal is not a copy of When Harry Met Sally. Both films may share the same genre and have two protagonists who start off as strangers, but Khan explains that their film is an original "fun space love story" created by Imtiaz Ali. Despite taking some inspiration from the classic Hollywood film, Jab Harry Met Sejal is not a direct copy of When Harry Met Sally.

Right after the Pentagon was hit, NEADS learned of another possible hijacked aircraft. It was an aircraft that in fact had not been hijacked at all. After the second World Trade Center crash, Boston Center managers recognized that both aircraft were transcontinental 767 jetliners that had departed Logan Airport. Remembering the "we have some planes" remark, Boston Center guessed that Delta 1989 might also be hijacked. Boston Center called NEADS at 9:41 and identified Delta 1989, a 767 jet that had left Logan Airport for Las Vegas, as a possible hijack. NEADS warned the FAA's Cleveland Center to watch Delta 1989. The Command Center and FAA headquarters watched it too. During the course of the morning, there were multiple erroneous reports of hijacked aircraft. The report of American 11 heading south was the first; Delta 1989 was the second. NEADS never lost track of Delta 1989, and even ordered fighter aircraft from Ohio and Michigan to intercept it. The flight never turned off its transponder. NEADS soon learned that the aircraft was not hijacked, and tracked Delta 1989 as it reversed course over Toledo, headed east, and landed in Cleveland. But another aircraft was heading toward Washington, an aircraft about which NORAD had heard nothing: United 93. United Airlines Flight 93 FAA Awareness. At 9:27, after having been in the air for 45 minutes, United 93 acknowledged a transmission from the Cleveland Center controller. This was the last normal contact the FAA had with the flight. Less than a minute later, the Cleveland controller and the pilots of aircraft in the vicinity heard "a radio transmission of unintelligible sounds of possible screaming or a struggle from an unknown origin." The controller responded, seconds later: "Somebody call Cleveland?"This was followed by a second radio transmission, with sounds of screaming.
Question: "Two radio transmissions that included (possible) screaming came from which aircraft?"
Answer: "Delta"
Is this answer correct?
Pick from:
[+] no;
[+] yes;...I think the answer is
|
no;
The correct aircraft with the two radio transmissions that included (possible) screaming was United Airlines Flight 93, not Delta. The passage describes how Boston Center called NEADS about Delta 1989 as a possible hijack, but NEADS never lost track of it, and it was later confirmed not to be hijacked. On the other hand, United 93 had its last normal contact with the FAA at 9:27, and less than a minute later, a radio transmission of unintelligible sounds of possible screaming or a struggle was heard. This was followed by a second radio transmission with sounds of screaming, suggesting that these transmissions came from United 93.

Multi-select problem: How does the next paragraph end?
How to meet a girl at a party
Prep yourself.
First things first: wear your favorite clothes. If you just bought a new shirt put it on.
Options: (I). If you already have all the shirts and decorations/you can keep it with you if you must wear lots of mismatched matching clothes make sure you've done the prep work well before the party. Then just give yourself a head start in the most important areas.; (II). Underneath is whatever they keep on hangers. Dry your body with a towel before you go.; (III). Just wear clothes that make you feel comfortable, confident, and make sure that in your head you know you look good in them. Prepping also involves smelling good, so take a shower, shave, and put on your favorite cologne.; (IV). If you're going to a first-day party just try to wear it. Otherwise always wear your favorite clothes; make sure they fit correctly before going! Get the right time.;
|
(III). Just wear clothes that make you feel comfortable, confident, and make sure that in your head you know you look good in them. Prepping also involves smelling good, so take a shower, shave, and put on your favorite cologne.
In this context, Option III is the correct answer because it provides a comprehensive approach to meeting a girl at a party. It emphasizes the importance of wearing clothes that boost self-confidence and focuses on personal grooming, like showering and using cologne.
Option I is incorrect because it seems to be a mix of unrelated topics and the wording is confusing. It doesn't give a clear idea of the right preparations to meet a girl at a party.
Option II is incorrect because it talks about drying the body with a towel before going to a party, which is irrelevant to the context. Moreover, it mentions "whatever they keep on hangers," which is unclear and doesn't provide meaningful information.
Option IV is incorrect because it repeats the advice to wear favorite clothes, which was already mentioned earlier. Furthermore, it introduces a new concept of "first-day party," which does not make sense within this context.

Write the next sentence in this paragraph:
How to avoid people you dislike
Delete, unfollow and unfriend from social media channels.
Each social media outlet allows you to remove a person from your list of contacts, fans, and friends. This will not only allow you to disconnect from the person, but it will stop the person from viewing your posts as well.
Choices:
* Confirm that your security filters are in line with your intent to avoid the person. It may be necessary to remove yourself from social media and close your accounts.;
* Never delete a friend's posts, messages, and interactions on facebook. Keep the contact only on your pinterest.;
* Find the conflict moderator at your school. Ask if he or she would suggest doing this or not.;
* Reply with a simple, friendly greeting or a smile. Do not respond immediately to over-greeting.;
|
* Confirm that your security filters are in line with your intent to avoid the person.
The other answers are incorrect for the following reasons:
1. It may be necessary to remove yourself from social media and close your accounts; - This is an extreme and unnecessary action to take when trying to avoid a person.
2. Never delete a friend's posts, messages, and interactions on Facebook. Keep the contact only on your Pinterest. - This does not address avoiding the person and is contradictory to the initial suggestion of deleting, unfollowing, and unfriending.
3. Find the conflict moderator at your school. Ask if he or she would suggest doing this or not. - This is irrelevant to the context of avoiding someone on social media.
4. Reply with a simple, friendly greeting or a smile. Do not respond immediately to over-greeting. - This does not help in avoiding the person and goes against the purpose of the paragraph.

Choose the next sentence.By Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor The United Kingdom is a nation divided by wealth, health and patriotism, a new study revealed today. From fertility and baby names to life expectancy and immigration, there are stark differences between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The new Compendium of UK Statistics draws together data from across the four nations of the UK, and reveals how life varies dramatically depending on where you live. The Office for National Statistics insisted the report is more than an interesting account of life in the UK. The Office for National Statistics released the Compendium of UK Statistics to reveal how life varies between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
OPTIONS:
- Compendium of UK Statistics is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- England is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Mailonline is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Matt Chorley is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Northern Ireland is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Office for National Statistics is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Scotland is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Spotlight is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- UK is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- United Kingdom is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Wales is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Welsh is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
|
England is home to more people born in the rest of the UK – 21.8 per cent are from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
This answer is the most relevant to the information provided in the previous sentences, as it continues the topic of how life varies between the four nations in the UK. The other answers are incorrect for the following reasons:
- Compendium of UK Statistics, Mailonline, Matt Chorley, Office for National Statistics, and Spotlight are not nations or regions, so they cannot be "home" to people born in other parts of the UK.
- Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are not mentioned in the text as having the highest percentage of people born in other parts of the UK.
- UK and United Kingdom refer to the entirety of the region, so they cannot be compared with individual countries within it.
- Welsh is an adjective referring to something or someone from Wales, not a location.

Choose your answer: is the following review positive or negative?
I had the opportunity to try out Monta Ramen based on a recomendation from a co-worker. This place is very small and tucked away in a strip mall on Spring Mt Chinatown. I think there is table seating for 16 inside, plus another 8 or so at the bar. I tried to time it so I wouldn't have to wait as I've heard there can be a long line to get in. Got here at about 6:30 pm and was able to get a seat right away at the bar. Ordered a Shoyu ramen with extra pork and egg. Even though my friend recommended the kimchee fried rice I was here to sample the ramen. The ramen came out pretty quick, noodles were nice and crisp and the broth was clean and not too salty as others have said. The pork was sliced very thing, but it was very flavorful and melt in your mouth delicious. The egg was also very good, rivaling the egg here in San Diego at Yakiyudori. Overall a very good bowl of ramen in Sin City. 4 Stars!
Select from:
(A). negative
(B). positive
|
(B). positive
The review is positive because the person describes a pleasant experience at Monta Ramen and gives it a 4-star rating. The reviewer praises the quality of the food (i.e., ramen, pork, and egg), mentions the place being recommended by a friend, and describes the overall experience as "very good" in the end, which indicates a positive review. The negative aspects such as the small size of the place and a potential wait are minor in comparison to the positive remarks about the food.

See the multi-choice question below:
Sentence 1: I ask you nothing ”but you will be my ally.
Sentence 2: Will you be my ally?
If the first sentence is true, then is the second sentence true?
OPT:
(a). yes;
(b). it is not possible to tell;
(c). no;
|
(b). it is not possible to tell;
Explanation: Although the first sentence is a request for the listener to be an ally, it does not provide any information about the listener's response or intention. The second sentence simply rephrases the request. Since we do not have any information about the listener's decision, we cannot determine if the second sentence is true or not.

Sentence from a movie review: powerful 1957 drama
Select your answer: was the movie seen positively or negatively based on the preceding review?
Select from:
a). negative.
b). positive.
|
b). positive.
The movie was seen positively based on the preceding review. The use of the word "powerful" suggests a strong impact or effect, which generally implies a positive evaluation of the movie. Furthermore, the year "1957" only indicates the movie's release year and does not have any positive or negative connotations. Therefore, option "a" (negative) is not the correct answer.

Options are: a). yes b). it is not possible to tell c). no

b). it is not possible to tell
Based on the given premise, we do not have enough information to confirm if the stone platform the girl is leaning on is part of her porch or not. It could be any outdoor location with a stone platform. The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
a). yes - We cannot conclude that the hypothesis is true since there is not enough information to confirm that the stone platform is her porch.
c). no - While we do not have enough information to confirm the hypothesis, we also cannot definitively say it is false. It remains a possibility, but we just cannot tell from the provided premise.

Choose your answer from options. Premise: "what about people from uh Pennsylvania what do they think about Texans" If this premise is true, what does that tell us about whether it entails the hypothesis "what kind of opinions do Texans hold about themselves?"?
Pick your answer from:
[a]. yes
[b]. it is not possible to tell
[c]. no
|
Answer: [c]. no
Explanation: The premise "what about people from Pennsylvania what do they think about Texans" does not provide us with information on "what kind of opinions do Texans hold about themselves." The premise focuses on the perceptions of Pennsylvanians towards Texans, not Texans' self-perception, so it does not entail the hypothesis. Hence options [a]. yes and [b]. it is not possible to tell are incorrect, because the basis for any definitive or probable connection is missing.

Available choices: a). yes. b). it is not possible to tell. c). no.

a). yes.
The premise states that all of the examined agencies had IT initiatives in both specified areas, and that the size, scope, and specific elements of those initiatives differed between and within the agencies. This directly supports the hypothesis, which claims that all of the agencies had IT initiatives that differed greatly. The varying size, scope, and specific elements indicate that the initiatives are indeed different or varying greatly. The other answers are incorrect because the information provided in the premise is sufficient to conclude the hypothesis is consistent with the premise.

What's the most logical way to complete this passage?
By Kerry Mcqueeney PUBLISHED: 05:55 EST, 7 August 2012 | UPDATED: 07:11 EST, 8 August 2012 This is the shocking CCTV footage which shows a BMW heading towards two toddlers being pushed in buggies by their fathers. The heart-stopping image shows the moving car just metres away from the group, who were waiting at the crossing of a busy road junction in Leicester with their fathers. One-year-old Oliwier Baczyk was killed at the scene and two-year-old Zofia Tabaka died later after they were thrown into the air by the impact. This CCTV footage captures the second ahead of the collision which killed the two youngsters. The BMW car, circled right, can be seen heading directly towards the two buggies, circled left

OPTIONS:
- BMW had gone into the pedestrian lights where people wait to cross.
- CCTV had gone into the pedestrian lights where people wait to cross.
- Kerry Mcqueeney had gone into the pedestrian lights where people wait to cross.
- Leicester had gone into the pedestrian lights where people wait to cross.
- Mini Cooper had gone into the pedestrian lights where people wait to cross.
- Oliwier Baczyk had gone into the pedestrian lights where people wait to cross.
- Zofia Tabaka had gone into the pedestrian lights where people wait to cross.
|
BMW had gone into the pedestrian lights where people wait to cross.
The correct answer is that the BMW had gone into the pedestrian lights where people wait to cross because the passage mentions that the "shocking CCTV footage" displays a BMW heading towards the toddlers and their fathers waiting at a busy road junction.
Other options are incorrect because:
- CCTV: The CCTV is responsible for recording the footage, not causing the accident.
- Kerry Mcqueeney: This is the author of the passage and irrelevant to the accident.
- Leicester: This is the location of the accident, not the object causing it.
- Mini Cooper: This car model is not mentioned in the passage; it was a BMW.
- Oliwier Baczyk and Zofia Tabaka: These are the names of the toddlers tragically involved in the accident and do not cause the accident themselves.

OPT: - yes - it is not possible to tell - no
|
Answer: it is not possible to tell
Explanation: The original sentence states that the woman in the red jacket looks as if she was buying something from the open air vendor. However, there is no mention of a beautiful bunch of roses or a street vendor. While it is possible that she could be buying roses, there is not enough information provided to conclude this. Therefore, we cannot say yes or no to the given statement but instead choose "it is not possible to tell."

Sentence from a movie review: does n't match his ambition
Select your answer: was the movie seen positively or negatively based on the preceding review?
Pick from: --negative; --positive;
|
--negative
The sentence "does n't match his ambition" implies that the movie did not meet the expectations or goals set by its creators, which indicates a negative review. The word "ambition" usually refers to a high aspiration or goal, and not matching it suggests a sense of disappointment or underachievement. Meanwhile, a positive movie review would typically highlight the film's strengths and achievements.

-continues playing while lights flash all around them and people continue dancing.
The other options are incorrect because:
- "continues playing together and ends with a closing screen" seems unrelated to the description of the scene and more like a description for a video or presentation ending.
- "plays while taking photos and showing their names to the camera" is not a realistic portrayal of a band performing on stage, as musicians typically do not take photos and show their names to the camera while they are playing.
- "continues to play in close up and out loud as well as on the dance floor" is unclear and confusing, as it's difficult to understand what it means for a band to play "in close up" and "out loud as well as on the dance floor."

Choose the next sentence for this paragraph.
(CNN) -- World leaders and world markets have been weighing in forcefully about what's happening in Crimea. It's clear how U.S. officials feel (they're outraged) about Russia's military activities in Ukraine's Crimea region and along the border between the two neighbors. Here's what others are saying or doing: China A neighbor and often an ally of Russia, China is distancing itself from Russia's troop movements. "It is China's long-standing position not to interfere in others' internal affairs," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang said. "We respect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine." At the same time, Qin suggested that Ukraine isn't completely faultless.
"There has been a distinct change in the tone of the markets today as the
OPTIONS:
- Angela Merkel-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- CNN-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- China-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- Chinese Foreign Ministry-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- Crimea-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- European Union-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- German-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- Putin-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- Qin-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- Qin Gang-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- Russia-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- U.S.-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
- Ukraine-Ukraine crisis stabilizes.
|
Correct Answer(s):
- "China-Ukraine crisis stabilizes."
Explanation:
The paragraph quotes a major player in the ongoing situation - China - and cites a statement from its Foreign Ministry. The talk about the "distinct change in the tone" likely refers to the feedback and response from these stakeholders.
Why other answers are wrong:
- "Angela Merkel-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" and "German-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" are incorrect because Angela Merkel and Germany weren't mentioned in the paragraph.
- "CNN-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" is also incorrect. Even though the source is CNN, the network itself doesn't play a role within the events of the story.
- "Chinese Foreign Ministry-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" is not a complete fit as the paragraph refers directly to China and its stance, not the Ministry alone.
- "Crimea-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" would be incorrect because Crimea is the subject of dispute, not an active player in the geopolitics.
- It's similar with the "European Union-Ukraine crisis stabilizes," as the EU wasn't mentioned.
- "Putin-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" and "Russia-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" are incorrect because these entities are causing the situation, not responding to it.
- "Qin-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" and "Qin Gang-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" aren't fitting as they are individual personalities and the sentence requires a collective response.
- "U.S.-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" is irrelevant here, as the paragraph does not discuss the U.S.'s response to a stabilization of the crisis.
- "Ukraine-Ukraine crisis stabilizes" is incorrect because it would be redundant and odd for Ukraine to react to its own crisis in this context. Ukraine is the subject, not the observer or commentator.

Select from the following.
[-] yes;

We cannot conclude that "A waiter is arguing with his boss at a restaurant" based on the information that a waiter is taking an order at a restaurant. The initial statement only tells us the waiter is performing their duty by taking an order; it doesn't provide any information about their interaction with their boss. Therefore, it isn't possible to tell if they are arguing or not.

How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
$12 for a combo meal burger and $10 for 3 chicken strips...what a joke!...Choose from:
(a). negative;
(b). positive; I think the answer is
|
(a). negative
This review demonstrates a negative sentiment. The reviewer uses phrases like "what a joke!" to express their dissatisfaction with the pricing of the food items. This shows that they are unhappy with the cost and may feel that the value does not match the price. The other option, (b) positive, cannot be correct because there are no words or phrases used in the review that indicate a positive sentiment or happiness with the experience.

Here is a premise: "A young child is giving a donation to a Salvation army worker."
Here is a hypothesis: "The child is feeling good."
.Does the premise tell us whether the hypothesis is true?
Available options: 1. yes. 2. it is not possible to tell. 3. no.
|
2. it is not possible to tell.
The premise provides information about the action taking place - "A young child is giving a donation to a Salvation Army worker." However, it doesn't explicitly mention the child's emotions or whether they feel good about donating. We can only assume the child's feelings based on the given information, but we cannot confirm whether the hypothesis is true. Hence, it is not possible to tell.
Option 1, "yes," is incorrect because the premise doesn't provide concrete information about the child's emotions. Option 3, "no," is also incorrect because while the premise doesn't confirm the hypothesis, it doesn't explicitly contradict it either.

(CNN) -- As Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited the U.N. General Assembly in New York last month, the spotlight was once again on Iran. And true to form, the Iranian president made his fair share of provocative statements for the Western media. But while Ahmadinejad's mercurial rants captured our media's attention, back in Iran a coordinated strategy against the women's movement continued. On the eve of Ahmadinejad's arrival to New York, Shiva Nazar Ahari, a prominent young female defender of human rights, received a heavy sentence of six years in prison on charges including the vague crime of "waging war against God" -- a convenient catch-all offense for anyone who criticizes the regime and its human rights record. There's no denying it -- Iran's women have had a bad year. Nazar Ahari joins a steadily increasing number of other women's rights activists who are in prison for no greater crime than their attempt to fight for the rights of the women. Hengameh Shahidi, Alieh Eghdam Doust, Bahareh Hedayat and Mahdiyeh Golrou have all been sent to Tehran's notorious Evin Prison on trumped-up charges related to their activism. And while Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, arguably the most internationally recognized Iranian women's rights activist, remains unable to safely return to her country, the government is targeting those affiliated with her for arrest and imprisonment, including her lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh and her former aide Jinous Sobhani. Since the 2009 disputed elections and associated government crackdown on the overall reform movement, the government has increasingly targeted women activists. The reasons behind this go well beyond the misogynist nature of Iran's religious leadership. Rather, it is more part of a deliberate and calculated strategy of the Iranian authorities to strike at the heart of the regime's greatest vulnerability -- internal legitimacy with its own people. See more CNN.com opinion articles Iran's government recognizes and fears the broader power of the women activists who have been on the front line of reform in Iran for more than a decade. One can roughly draw an analogy between the women's movement in Iran to movements of religious groups in Burma or Tibet, or the labor "solidarity" movements in the former Eastern bloc and associated labor-Roman Catholic solidarity in Poland -- all advocating initially for the freedoms of a specific group but which provoked government fears for their transformative power to promote broader human rights progress. While the outside world occasionally reacts to the most egregious manifestations of Iran's repression of women -- such as the international condemnation associated with Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, an Iranian widow sentenced to stoning on charges of alleged adultery -- these events are often portrayed simply as a consequence of the regime's archaic viewpoint about gender.
Question: "What is the name of the person who made their fair share of provocative statements for the Western media?"
Response: "Shirin Ebadi"
Based on the paragraph, is the response to the question is factually correct?
Available choices:
(1). no
(2). yes
|
(1). no
The response to the question is factually incorrect because the person who made their fair share of provocative statements for the Western media is Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, not Shirin Ebadi. Shirin Ebadi is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a prominent Iranian women's rights activist mentioned in the text but not in the context of making provocative statements for the Western media.

Sentence 1: The Water Quality Initiative
Sentence 2: They are working on lowering water pollution levels to 0.004.
Options:
(A). yes;
(B). it is not possible to tell;
(C). no;
Is this second sentence entailed by the first sentence?
|
(B). it is not possible to tell
The second sentence is not entailed by the first sentence because the first sentence only mentions the Water Quality Initiative, which could involve various approaches to improve water quality, but it doesn't specify the particular goal of lowering water pollution levels to 0.004. Therefore, we cannot know for sure from the information given whether this goal is part of the Water Quality Initiative or not.

Multi-select problem: How does the next paragraph end?
There's a man drawing a white starting line on the ground for the race. The bikers get ready to begin their race. they
Select from:
(I) take off onto the dirt path.;
(II) start the race and go through ramps and bumps.;
(III) go over a huge waterfall together.;
(IV) leave the track and continue riding the course.;
|
(I) take off onto the dirt path.;
(IV) leave the track and continue riding the course.
The other options are incorrect because:
(II) Starting the race and going through ramps and bumps could be true for a BMX or motocross race, but the current paragraph's main focus is on the bikers starting the race, not the obstacles they will face during the race.
(III) Going over a huge waterfall together is not a probable scenario for a bike race, as it involves dangerous and unrealistic aspects for a typical bike race scenario.

Are these paraphrases?
In its upper reaches in the red hills of the Piedmont , it flows through a deeply incised channel etched into crystalline rocks .
It flows in its upper reaches in the red hills of Piedmont through a deeply incised canal etched into crystalline rocks .
Choices: (1). no (2). yes
|
(2). yes
These are paraphrases because both sentences convey the same meaning but have slightly different sentence structures. The first sentence starts with "In its upper reaches" while the second starts with "It flows in its upper reaches." Additionally, the first sentence says "the Piedmont" while the second says "Piedmont." Despite these differences, both sentences describe the same scenario: the flow of a river through a deeply incised channel etched into crystalline rocks in the red hills of the Piedmont region.
The other choice, (1). no, is incorrect because the two sentences provide the same information with only minor variations in phrasing, which is the definition of a paraphrase.

See the multi-choice question below:
Sentence 1: The Duomo was built during Pisa's Golden Age, begun in 1063, to honor Pisa's victory over the Saracens in Sicily.
Sentence 2: The Duomo is featured a lot in articles on social media.
If the first sentence is true, then is the second sentence true?
Choose from: a. yes. b. it is not possible to tell. c. no.
|
b. it is not possible to tell.
The first sentence provides historical context and background information about the Duomo and its construction, while the second sentence discusses its current popularity on social media. There's no direct connection between these two pieces of information. Just because it was built during Pisa's Golden Age to honor a victory doesn't necessarily mean it is featured a lot in articles on social media today.

Choose your answer from options. Premise: "Now the shadows shifted all around them." If this premise is true, what does that tell us about whether it entails the hypothesis "The shadows were shifting all around them."?
Options: A. yes; B. it is not possible to tell; C. no;
|
A. yes
The premise states that "Now the shadows shifted all around them." This directly implies that the shadows were shifting around them at that specific moment. Therefore, it entails the hypothesis "The shadows were shifting all around them."
B and C are incorrect because the statement in the premise clearly indicates that the shadows were indeed shifting, making it possible to tell and confirming the hypothesis.

Multi-select problem: How does the next paragraph end?
How to withdraw cash from an automated teller machine
Check to see which atms belong to your bank's network.
This way you will avoid having to pay processing fees. Many banks belong to a large network so you can check on their website to find out which atms will not incur a processing fee.
Select from the following.
(i). It is important to understand that atms are often equipped with a fee control system. This is even more important if you have to withdraw manually because in some models you may not be able to use the atms..
(ii). Walk up or drive up to the atm. If you have children in your car it is much easier to use a drive-through atm..
(iii). Individual atms may have limited coverage in this way, so it might be more convenient for you to check with your bank to be sure. Open the password-protected " my account " web page..
(iv). If none of the atms are listed on your bank's website, contact the bank and ask for a form requesting access to their network. The form will usually have instructions on how to create one..
|
(ii). Walk up or drive up to the atm. If you have children in your car it is much easier to use a drive-through atm..
The correct answer is (ii) because the initial paragraph is about finding and using an ATM that belongs to the user's bank network. The next logical step after finding such an ATM is to approach it, either by walking up or using a drive-through option.
(i) is incorrect because it introduces the idea of a fee control system, which is not relevant to the main topic of finding an ATM and avoiding processing fees.
(iii) is incorrect because while it mentions the individual ATM's coverage, it brings up a password-protected "my account" page, which is not the logical next step in withdrawing cash from an ATM.
(iv) is incorrect because it suggests that the user should request access to the bank's network if none of the ATMs are listed on the website. This situation is not connected to the main topic of withdrawing cash from an ATM without incurring a processing fee.

Preying over people who work really hard to earn their keep and using scare tactics to get one over . If they only used their time and effort and abilities to good use instead of ripping off , scaring , and endangering the lives of people around them then people like my officemate would n't be shivering like shit right now , scared for herself because the cretin has her address and knows she works here . I know the feeling because DREGS like that guy who mugged her mugged me when I was in college .
Q with options: Give answer the following question using evidence from the above passage: What may my officemate become if she was not mugged ?
Options are:
a). None of the above choices ..
b). She will prey on me who work very hard to earn my keep ..
c). She will use scare tactics in the office ..
d). She will mug me ..
|
a). None of the above choices.
The passage does not provide any information or hints about what the officemate might become if she was not mugged. Other options (b, c, and d) imply negative actions that the officemate might take, but the text does not support any of these assumptions. The focus of the passage is on the negative impact of people who engage in such activities and the fear they cause, rather than speculating on the future actions or behavior of the officemate.

Select from the following.
(A). Plan to catch anywhere from five to seven crabs if you want to make your first round. Get some extra crab for your next round.
(B). Your local farmers' market might have a fresh crab stand. Seafood shops, yuppie grocers, and asian grocery stores may also carry fresh crab.

(B). Your local farmers' market might have a fresh crab stand. Seafood shops, yuppie grocers, and asian grocery stores may also carry fresh crab.
Explanation:
The question asks for the most logical next event after getting a fishing license and setting out crab traps or buying a fresh crab. The correct answer is (B) because it explains different places where fresh crabs can be bought.
(A) is incorrect because it discusses how many crabs to catch, which should have been considered before going crabbing or purchasing a fresh crab.
(C) is incorrect because it talks about using a fake oyster shell and looking for a dead crab, which is not relevant to the question.
(D) is incorrect because it seems irrelevant to the topic, discussing goggles and cold crab shells.

Positive
A positive review for a place would generally emphasize the positive aspects and experiences during a visit, such as great customer service, cleanliness, delicious food, or a beautiful atmosphere. Positive reviews are meant to encourage other people to visit and support the business or location.
Negative reviews, on the other hand, focus on problems, issues, or negative experiences that were encountered during a visit. These reviews tend to dissuade potential visitors or customers and may lead to negative impacts on the target business or location.
