Frage 16 Bericht
Read the Passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The term Mass Communication occurs when information is disseminated to a relatively large number of people in different places. it should be seen as the same thing with talking face to face with someone else. With mass communication, there is no answer, smile, laugh or lock of surprise. the people who receive the message are as far away from the source of the message as far away as you are from the announcers on the radio or from the newscasters on television, or from the writer of a column in the local newspaper.
There are three identifiable means of errors in mass communication. There is one done through the printed words, books, magazine and newspapers. The other is primarily radio, but also records and tape recordings. Also, it can be done through a combination of sound and pictures as in television, films and the more recently popular video tape.
Together, they are referred to as the mass media.
All media can be used to inform and entertain. However, there are coverts roles played. It may be to educate as in school broadcast. Again, the aim may be to persuade as when the media are used by advertisers or for political broadcasts. The media are often in strong position to influence public opinion because they select the topics to be presented and can stress the importance of one issue over the other.
The mass media have, in recent times, come under acerbic criticism. Many presenters have become not only conscientized but also immensely concerned about the possible effects that science of violence and bad behavior may have on their children. More worrisome are the potential danger of political and commercial propaganda.
The means of mass media can be summarized into:

His many years of success in legal practise.... didn't come out without challenges
Antwortdetails
The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "didn't come out without challenges, however". This is because the phrase "didn't come out without challenges" indicates that the person faced difficulties in their legal practice. The word "however" is used to show a contrast or contradiction to what came before, in this case, the success that the person achieved. Therefore, the complete sentence would read, "His many years of success in legal practice didn't come out without challenges, however."

Every human being is [vulnerable] to communicable disease
Antwortdetails
The option that is nearest in meaning to the word "vulnerable" in the sentence "Every human being is vulnerable to communicable disease" is "liable." Explanation: - The word "vulnerable" means susceptible to harm or damage from a specific source, in this case, communicable diseases. - The word "liable" means legally responsible for something or subject to something, typically something unpleasant or negative. - In the context of the sentence, "liable" suggests that every human being is subject to the risk of communicable diseases and may contract them. - It implies that humans are not immune to communicable diseases and are therefore susceptible to them. Therefore, "liable" is the correct answer as it best conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.
Frage 23 Bericht
Choose the word that has the same rhyme scheme.Dice
Antwortdetails
The word that has the same rhyme scheme as "dice" is "rice". This is because they both have the same ending sound, "-ice". When words have the same ending sound, they are said to rhyme, and the pattern of their rhymes is called the rhyme scheme. In this case, the rhyme scheme for both "dice" and "rice" would be "A".
Frage 24 Bericht
It is high time we ........ seeing her
Antwortdetails
"It is high time we stopped seeing her" would be the correct option. The phrase "it is high time" is an idiomatic expression that means that something should have happened already, and there is a sense of urgency for it to occur. The correct verb form to use after this phrase is the past simple form, which is "stopped" in this case. So, "It is high time we stopped seeing her" means that it is overdue for us to stop seeing her, and we need to do it now. The other options, "stop", "will stop", and "stops" are not grammatically correct after the phrase "it is high time" because they do not use the past simple form.
Frage 25 Bericht

Frage 26 Bericht
The driver was short of petrol, so he ........ down the road with the engine switched off
Antwortdetails

This can happen when the car is moving downhill or when the driver turns off the engine to conserve fuel. In the given sentence, the driver is short of petrol, so he turns off the engine and lets the car move forward without any power from the engine. The word "glided" emphasizes that the car moves smoothly and silently, without any noise or vibration. The other options may also imply movement without engine power, but "glided" best conveys the idea of a smooth and effortless movement.
Frage 27 Bericht
Choose the word that has a different stress pattern
Antwortdetails
The word that has a different stress pattern is "convivial." In the words "calendar," "aloud," and "mechanic," the stress is placed on the first syllable. However, in the word "convivial," the stress is placed on the second syllable. This is what makes the word different in terms of its stress pattern compared to the other options.

The correct option is "Estimates". This means that the World Health Organization is providing an educated guess or approximation of the number of Ugandans who are HIV positive, which is 1.8 million people. The use of the word "estimates" indicates that this number may not be exact, but it is the best estimate based on available data and analysis.

CHOOSE THE OPTION THAT IS NEAREST IN MEANING TO THE WORD(S) IN BRACKET, FOR QUESTIONS below.
These policies have been [espoused] by the ruling party

The option nearest in meaning to "espoused" is "supported". When someone "espouses" a particular idea, belief, or policy, it means they are expressing support for it and advocating for its adoption. In this case, the ruling party is said to have "espoused" the policies, which implies that they are actively supporting and promoting those policies. Therefore, the correct option is "supported".
Frage 56 Bericht
His many years of success in legal practise ........ didn't come out without challenges
Antwortdetails
The best word to complete the sentence would be "didn't come out without challenges" is "However". The word "however" is commonly used to introduce a contrast or a contradiction to the previous statement, which makes it an appropriate choice in this sentence. It indicates that despite the success achieved in legal practice over many years, there were still challenges that had to be faced. The other options could also fit in the sentence grammatically, but they wouldn't convey the intended meaning of a contradiction or contrast between the two parts of the sentence. For instance, "indeed" would be used to emphasize and confirm the truth of the statement made in the first part of the sentence. "But" would also introduce a contrast, but it would suggest a less strong opposition than "however". "In spite of all" would imply that there were challenges, but it wouldn't create the necessary contrast to the first part of the sentence.

Frage 58 Bericht
Vacancies in the company will be notified by .....
Antwortdetails
The word that best completes the sentence is "advertisement." The word "advertisement" is the most appropriate option in the context of notifying vacancies in the company to the public. It refers to a paid promotion or notice in a medium such as newspapers, websites, or social media. Companies typically use advertisements to attract the attention of job seekers and notify them of job openings. The other options provided could also be used in some contexts, but they do not specifically convey the idea of job vacancies. For instance, "bulletin" is a general term for a brief announcement or report of recent events, while "publication" refers to a printed or online material that contains articles, stories, or other content. "Publicity" typically refers to the act of promoting or advertising something to the public, without necessarily indicating that there are job vacancies available.

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is "outskirts". This means that Alice and her family live on the edge of the city of Kampala, away from the central area or downtown. It suggests that they live in a less developed and less affluent part of the city, where there may be less access to basic services like healthcare and sanitation. The use of the word "shack" also implies that their living conditions are poor and inadequate.
