Exercice 1
Bob writes that his network configuration is "unintelligible" to others.
Bob writes that his network configuration is probably "unintelligible" to others.
probably: Bob writes about the network: "It's most likely unintelligible to anyone who has not helped to create it". "Most likely" expresses a very strong possibility, it is synonymous with "probably" or "very probable".
guaranteed: "Guaranteed" is not synonymous with "most likely". Something can be described as being "most likely" to happen, without it being "guaranteed" to happen.
always: "Always" is not synonymous with "most likely". "Always" describes "how often" something may occur, while "most likely" describes "the possibility" of something occurring.
for sure: "For sure" is not synonymous with "most likely". Something can be described as being "most likely" to happen without it being "sure" to happen.

"Icarus is... facing some prison time."
This sentence could also be expressed as:
This sentence could also be expressed as:
"Icarus is... facing some prison time."
This sentence could also be expressed as:
This sentence could also be expressed as:
This is incorrect. To "face some prison time" does not mean that one will contest a prison sentence. To "contest (a decision)" is "to object to" or "to dispute" it. Example: Philip has contested many sexual harassment cases in his career.
This is the correct choice. The expression "(You are) facing prison time" means that it is probable that you will be imprisoned, or are going to prison. "Prison time" refers to a period in prison, or when one is "imprisoned". In this context, the verb "to face" means "to be certain to encounter", for example: Horatio faces a difficult life in the big city. "To be likely" is synonymous with "to be probable or expected".
This is incorrect. To "face some prison time" does not mean that one has already been sent to prison.
This is incorrect. To "face some prison time" does not mean that one will plead guilty for one's crimes. To "plead guilty" is to declare oneself guilty or responsible for a crime.

1 a refusal of responsibility: A "disclaimer" is used by companies to refuse responsibility: to explain that they cannot be held responsible for certain events or happenings. Example: "If you read the disclaimer, you will see that we are not responsible for your accident".
1 a final note: Although the "disclaimer" comes at the end of this invoice, the terms "disclaimer" and "final note" are unrelated in meaning.
1 an advertisement: The term "advertisement" refers to a paid "notice" or "announcement" for publicity purposes, usually made by a company wishing to sell its products. It does not share a similar meaning with "disclaimer".
1 a refund: A "refund" is money credited to someone for the return of a product or service which has been purchased. This is unrelated in meaning to the term "disclaimer".
2 payment for a loss: To "compensate" someone in this context is to pay them money as "reparation" or "reimbursement". We receive "compensation" when we return a "faulty" or "damaged" product, or when someone has caused us harm. Example: "I received compensation after I fell over at work".
2 payment: "Compensation" can take the form of financial "payment", but the two terms are not synonymous.
2 purchase: The term "purchase" refers to an item which one has "bought". It is unrelated in meaning to the term "compensation".
2 bill: A "bill" is an "invoice" and is unrelated in meaning to the term "compensation".
3 reimburse: To "refund" someone's money is to give it back or "return" it to them. This usually happens when customers have been provided with a faulty product or bad service. Example: "I got a refund for my concert ticket because the band only played for ten minutes".
3 resend: To "resend" means to "send again" and is unrelated in meaning to the term "refund".
3 return: To "return" an item means to "give it back" and is unrelated in meaning to the term "refund".
3 replace: To "replace" an item means to "change" or "swap" it, and is unrelated in meaning to the term "refund".
4 considered responsible: When we "hold someone liable (for a mistake)", we consider that they are "responsible for" or "guilty of" the error. Example: "Customers will be liable for any accidents and must pay for items they break".
4 found guilty: Judges "find someone guilty (of a crime)" in a legal, courtroom setting. This is not an appropriate synonym for "to be held liable".
4 given compensation: To "be given compensation" is to receive money as "reparation" or "reimbursement". This is not an appropriate synonym for "to be held liable".
4 likely: In a different context, "to be liable (to do something)" is to be "likely" to do it. However, this is not the meaning of "to be held liable" in this context.
