Vacancies in the company will be notified by .....
Detalles de la respuesta
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 driver was short of petrol, so he ........ down the road with the engine switched off
Detalles de la respuesta
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is "glided". When a car "glides" it moves forward without the engine running. 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.

His many years of success in legal practise ........ didn't come out without challenges
Detalles de la respuesta
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.
Pregunta 7 Informe
It is high time we ........ seeing her
Detalles de la respuesta
"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.

Detalles de la respuesta
The option that is nearest in meaning to the word "derogatory" in the sentence "Okibe was rusticated for his derogatory remark about the principal" is "unsavoury." Explanation: - The word "derogatory" means showing a critical or disrespectful attitude towards someone or something. - The word "unsavoury" means unpleasant or unpalatable, often in a moral or ethical sense. - In the context of the sentence, "unsavoury" suggests that Okibe's remark about the principal was offensive, distasteful, or morally unacceptable. - It implies that the remark was disrespectful and inappropriate, which led to Okibe's punishment. Therefore, "unsavoury" is the correct answer as it best conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.

More specifically, the sea anemone is formed quite like a flower for which is named, with body like a stem and tentacles like petals in brilliant shades; blue, pink, green and red. Its diameters vary from about six millimeters in some species to more than ninety centimeters in the giant verities of Australia. Like corals, hydras and jelly fish, sea anemones are coelenterates. They can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower part of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells or wharf pilings.
The upper and end of the sea anemone has a mouth surrounded by tentacles which the animal uses to capture its food. Stinging cells in the tentacles throw out tiny poison threads that paralyze other small sea animals. The tentacles then drag this prey into the sea anemone's mouth.The food is digested in the large inner body cavity. When disturbed, a sea anemone retracts its lump on a rock. Anemones may reproduce by forming eggs. dividing in half or developing buds that grow and break off as independent animals.
