Exercice 1
According to the report mentioned in this article:
According to the report mentioned in this article:
This is not correct. The report says that weight gain is "steady from coast to coast, from California to New York", and the report was carried out in "all 50 states". In this context, "steady" means there are no significant variations. "Steady" growth is "certain" or "continuous". For example: "There has been a steady increase in the number of cars on the road in Britain".
This is not correct. The report says that "naive idealists and conservatives" believe that obesity is becoming less of a problem, but that this is not true.
This is not correct. At first, scientists thought that the result was an anomaly or a mistake. However, more tests confirmed that the data was correct. To "gather (data)" is to accumulate or find information.
This is correct. If something increases at an "exponential rate", it grows extremely quickly. The term "weight gain" describes the increase in size or heaviness of a person: they are getting fatter. Example: "Rapid weight gain is a good thing during pregnancy, but women should lose some weight when the baby is born".

A synonym for "to attend" is to participate in 2.
1 to collect: This is the right choice. To gather means to collect or to assemble. For example, "I've collected all the figures and entered them into the database". We also "gather flowers, mushrooms, etc.".
1 to read: This is incorrect. An example of the use of to "read" is "I read all of Shakespeare's plays in two days." It does not mean the same as to "gather". The verb "to read" is irregular: read/read/read.
1 to hunt: This is not the correct choice. To "hunt" means to "seek" or to "search for". It is usually used in the context of killing animals for sport or food. Example: "It's forbidden to hunt foxes and other wild animals on both public and private land in Britain, but some idiots still do it".
1 to hear: This is not correct. "Hearing" and "gathering" are different actions: one refers to the collection of something, while the other refers to the (audible) perception of it.
2 to participate in: This is the correct response. To "attend" is synonymous with to "participate in", to "take part in", to "be present at" or to "go to". (Don't forget the all important prepositions with these terms!) Example: "I won't be attending the staff barbecue. I've decided to become a vegetarian."
2 to wait for: This is not the right answer. To "wait" is not a synonym of to "attend". To "wait" for someone (or something) means to expect it at a certain place and time and to stay there until it, he, or she arrives. For example: "I've been waiting for you for over half an hour. Where have you been? I thought you were dead!"
2 to meet at: This is incorrect. To "meet at" does not mean the same as to "attend". Let's look at an example of a sentence with to meet at: "I'm going on a blind date tonight. We're meeting at a restaurant. He said he will be holding a pink rose so I'll recognize him!"
2 to launch: This is not the right choice. To launch is not synonymous with to attend. To launch means to establish, to release or to set up. For example: We're going to launch the new website tomorrow'.

Towards the end of the conference, Susie says "I think it's time to wrap things up."
Which of the following idioms or expressions could replace Susie's phrase without changing its meaning?
Which of the following idioms or expressions could replace Susie's phrase without changing its meaning?
Towards the end of the conference, Susie says "I think it's time to wrap things up."
Which of the following idioms or expressions could replace Susie's phrase without changing its meaning?
Which of the following idioms or expressions could replace Susie's phrase without changing its meaning?
This is the best choice here. The idiom to "wrap things up" means to "conclude" or "end" something. When Susie says this she is signaling the end of the press conference.
The idiom Susie uses is a way of saying "it's time to end the event", not that we should forget what happened.
This is not what Susie's idiom expresses. It is not a reference to food or a "buffet".
If Susie were a flight attendant on a plane, she might say this, but not at a press conference.
This is an extreme interpretation of this particular idiom. Susie's expression is not a request for people to leave, but rather a polite way of saying "let's end this now".

Choose the most appropriate headline for the article you just read.
(A "headline" is the title of an article summarizing its main subject)
(A "headline" is the title of an article summarizing its main subject)
Choose the most appropriate headline for the article you just read.
(A "headline" is the title of an article summarizing its main subject)
(A "headline" is the title of an article summarizing its main subject)
This is the most appropriate headline for this article. A "clue" describes helpful information, or information which provides insight or knowledge to a puzzle or problem. If police are "clueless", then they have no idea or indications about how or why something happened. This article describes a fight or altercation in which one person was struck or hit with a bottle. A "beating" describes a physical assault.
This headline isn't appropriate. The article states that the police have not "solved" (resolved or figured out) what happened at the bar in San Francisco. A "mystery" describes a puzzle, an enigma, or something "unknown". To write that police have "solved the mystery", or "discovered what happened" wouldn't be accurate.
This headline isn't appropriate. Although this information is true according to the article, it doesn't summarize the main subject of the article. This information is a minor detail within the bigger story of a crime.
This headline isn't appropriate. This story is actually about a dispute or argument which came about because of a television program, so to write that bar patrons "gathered" (assembled or came together) to watch television "peacefully" (without conflict or violence) isn't accurate.
