Question 1 Report

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

The newly employed workers were remunerated handsomely. This means that

both old and new workers were paid

only newly employed workers were paid

the salaries of the new workers were attractive

the salaries of the new workers were paid promptly

Answer Details

The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence "The newly employed workers were remunerated handsomely" is that the salaries of the new workers were attractive. "Remunerate" means to pay someone for work or services rendered. In this sentence, the word "handsomely" is used to modify "remunerated" and suggests that the new workers were paid well or generously. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the sentence is that the salaries of the new workers were attractive. The other options are not as appropriate because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the word "remunerated" or the context of the sentence. There is no indication that both old and new workers were paid, so is incorrect. is too specific and implies that the old workers were not paid, which is not stated in the sentence. is also too specific and suggests that the payment was prompt, which is not necessarily the case.
