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.
All the following are roles of the media but?
Awọn alaye Idahun
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."

Awọn alaye Idahun
In "Sweet Sixteen," Bolaji Abdullahi notes that stereoscopic people should be corrected of their bad thinking. To explain this in simple terms, being stereoscopic means having a narrow and limited perspective on things, which often leads to making judgments and forming opinions based on preconceived notions or generalizations, rather than on actual knowledge or experience. Therefore, it is important to correct this kind of thinking by providing more information and educating individuals about different perspectives and experiences, as well as challenging their assumptions and biases. This can help them broaden their understanding and become more open-minded and accepting of diversity.

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.

The correct option is "upright." The sentence is describing women in our society today, and it states that there are still virtuous women. The word "virtuous" means having high moral standards or being righteous. It implies that these women possess good qualities such as honesty, integrity, and decency. , "devilish," has the opposite meaning of virtuous, and it implies that the women are wicked or evil. "clever," means having intelligence or quickness of mind, which is not directly related to morality. "intelligent," means having high mental capacity or being knowledgeable, which again is not directly related to morality. "upright," means honest, honorable, and morally correct, which is the closest in meaning to "virtuous." Therefore, "upright" is the correct option.

The driver was short of petrol, so he ........ down the road with the engine switched off
Awọn alaye Idahun
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.

Awọn alaye Idahun
The sentence is describing what the pilot did in response to a mechanical issue with the aircraft. The phrase "activate automatic turning" suggests that the pilot used a button on the control panel to activate a feature that would cause the aircraft to turn automatically. The word "north-east" indicates the direction in which the aircraft turned. The word "veered" means to change direction suddenly, so it is the most appropriate option for the given context. Therefore, the correct option is "veered." The completed sentence would read: "At the same time, he pushed a button on the panel to activate automatic turning, and the aeroplane veered north-east."

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 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.

Both questions are alternatives; you answer ........ one ........ the other
Awọn alaye Idahun
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.
