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.

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.
All the following are roles of the media but?
Bayanin Amsa
The passage mentions three roles of the media - to inform, entertain, and persuade. However, the passage does not mention moralization as a role of the media. Informing is a role of the media where they provide news and information about current events, politics, sports, business, and other topics of interest. Entertaining is another role of the media where they provide content like movies, TV shows, music, and other forms of entertainment to keep the audience engaged. Persuading is also a role of the media where they attempt to influence the audience's opinions or behaviors, such as through advertisements or political campaigns. "Moralization" is not mentioned as a role of the media in this passage, and it does not fit under any of the three roles mentioned. Moralization refers to the process of conveying moral values or principles, which is not explicitly mentioned in the passage. Therefore, the answer is "Moralization."

To explain this in simple terms, the novel highlights the importance of open and honest communication between parents and their children. It shows that many problems and misunderstandings arise from a lack of communication or miscommunication between the two parties. By having meaningful conversations and listening to each other, parents and children can better understand each other's perspectives, values, and concerns. This can help build stronger relationships and avoid conflicts and misunderstandings.

His many years of success in legal practise ........ didn't come out without challenges
Bayanin Amsa
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.

Bayanin Amsa
"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.

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.

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.

Bayanin Amsa
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.

Bayanin Amsa
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.

They may be responsible for tasks such as grading papers, supervising students, or leading small group activities under the guidance of the main teacher.

His many years of success in legal practise.... didn't come out without challenges
Bayanin Amsa
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."

Both questions are alternatives; you answer ........ one ........ the other
Bayanin Amsa
The correct phrase is "either/or". "Either/or" means you have two options, and you must choose one of them. For example, "Do you want to have pizza or burgers for dinner?" Here, you have to choose either pizza or burgers, not both or neither. "Neither/nor" means you have two options, but you reject both of them. For example, "I don't like neither pizza nor burgers." Here, you are rejecting both options, and you do not want either one. "Either/nor" is not a commonly used phrase, so it's best to avoid it.
