Brian says "As an immigrant myself, I struggled with a lot of red tape"...
This could also be expressed as "As an immigrant myself, I with a lot of "...
This could also be expressed as "As an immigrant myself, I with a lot of "...
Brian says "As an immigrant myself, I struggled with a lot of red tape"...
This could also be expressed as "As an immigrant myself, I battled 1 with a lot of bureaucracy 2"...
This could also be expressed as "As an immigrant myself, I battled 1 with a lot of bureaucracy 2"...
1 battled: "Battled" is the right answer. To "struggle" is to "fight" or to "battle". Here's another example: "Willy struggled with the thief, and eventually knocked him to the floor". Brian is using "struggle" in a mental sense, rather than a physical one!
1 waited: This is not the best choice here. To term "to wait" means to "stay patiently while expecting something to happen". Example: "I waited for the bus for 50 minutes this morning, which is why I'm late for work".
1 made friends: This is not the best choice here. To "make friends with someone" is to become close to them. Example: "Charles has only been at school for a week, but he has already made lots of friends".
1 gave up: This is not the best choice here. To "give up (hope, smoking)" is to "stop (having hope, smoking)". Example: "I tried to answer this question for ten minutes, and then I gave up".
2 bureaucracy: The terms "red-tape" and "bureaucracy" share a similar meaning, and both refer to long and complicated administrative procedures. Often, governments like to use a lot of red-tape! Here's another example: "If you want to get reimbursed for visiting the doctor in France, you have to deal with a lot of red-tape".
2 foreigners: This is not the correct answer. "Foreigners" are people who come from another country, and have nothing to do with "red-tape".
2 racism: This is not the correct answer. "Racism" is a form of prejudice against people who have a different ethnic origin from you, and has nothing to do with "red-tape".
2 hard work: This is not the correct answer. "Hard work" is "labour" or "intensive effort", and has nothing to do with "red-tape".

"Here's some information I've gathered from various news sources"
A synonym for "to gather" is to collect 1.
"Some members of the Delavigne staff plan to leave early on Friday so that they can attend the march":
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'.
