Übung 1
Bruno writes that "people are picketing the Delavigne offices as we speak".
He means that people are outside of the Delavigne offices .
He means that people are outside of the Delavigne offices .
Bruno writes that "people are picketing the Delavigne offices as we speak".
He means that people are protesting 1 outside of the Delavigne offices currently 2.
He means that people are protesting 1 outside of the Delavigne offices currently 2.
1 protesting: This is the correct answer. In English, the verb "to picket" has a few meanings but in this context it shares a similar meaning with the verb "to protest" or "to demonstrate". "To picket" expresses the physical act of "demonstrating", and often implies that protesters are shouting and possibly blocking the entrance of a building or interfering with the employees of a company.
1 eating outdoors: Do not confuse the verb "to picket" with "to picnic". They are very different.
1 marching: "Picketing" does not necessarily involve "marching". This is not the best choice here.
1 manifesting: Be careful: "to manifest" does not share a meaning with "to protest" and "to picket" in English. "To manifest" means "to become real" or "to become apparent/visible". For example: "The disease manifested as a rash".
2 currently: This is the best choice here. The expression "as we speak" indicates that something is happening at the current moment, or "at this very time".
2 actually: "Actually" does not express that something is happening at the current moment. In English the term is synonymous with "really" or "in fact" or "in actuality".
2 loudly: The expression "as we speak" does not indicate the volume at which people are talking.
2 apparently: The expression "as we speak" does not share a similar meaning with "apparently".

Select the phrase below which best defines the expression 'as we speak'.
Select the phrase below which best defines the expression 'as we speak'.
'Even as we speak, I am recycling plastics.'
Select the phrase below which best defines the expression 'as we speak'.
Select the phrase below which best defines the expression 'as we speak'.
This is the best choice here. In this expression, 'as' shares a similar meaning with 'while'. To 'talk' means to 'speak'. The expression 'as we speak' is frequently used to describe an event or action which is taking place as the conversation is happening. In this case, Bruno claims to be 'recycling plastics' while he is on the phone talking to Ursula.
This is incorrect. The term 'as' in this context does not share a similar meaning with the term 'because'. Rather, it means 'while' in this expression. In certain contexts, 'as' is synonymous with 'because'. Example: 'As you arrived late at the restaurant, I ordered without you'.
This is incorrect. 'Since the last time we spoke' refers to events which have happened in the time which has passed between two conversations. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term 'as we speak'.
