1 aloud: This is the correct choice. The expression to "read aloud" (or to "read out loud") refers to reading a piece of text vocally rather than mentally. Note that "reading aloud" does not indicate the volume of the voice. In this broadcast, Belinda tells Brent and Moira that she saw a man "reading aloud from "The Prince", by Machiavelli". She means that the man was reading this text for the audience to hear.
1 loudly: This is an incorrect choice. To "read" something loudly refers to reading it at high volume. Here we are distinguishing between reading vocally and mentally, and not commenting on volume. The best choice here is "aloud".
1 loud: This is an incorrect choice. To "read something loud" refers to reading it at high volume. Here we are distinguishing between reading vocally and mentally, and not commenting on volume. The best choice here is "aloud". Note that the adverb "loudly" would be the appropriate term to modify the verb "read".
1 louder: This is an incorrect choice. "Louder" is generally used as the comparative form of the adjective "loud". Example: His voice is louder than the others. In this sentence, we are distinguishing between reading vocally and mentally and not commenting on volume.
2 loudly: This is the correct choice. To read something "loudly" refers to reading it at high volume. Here the adverb "loudly" is used to describe "how one's brother speaks". Adverbs are used to modify verbs and adjectives; in this sentence an adverb must be used. In comparative constructions with "as", an adverb is generally used. Example: He doesn't speak French as fluently as his mother.
2 aloud: This is an incorrect choice. Although "aloud" is an adverb which can describe how someone is reading, it is used exclusively to distinguish between reading mentally from reading vocally. Example: Read this passage aloud please. This sentence requires a term which describes volume.
2 loudest: This is an incorrect choice. "Loudest" is the superlative form of "loud". It means "most loud" or "louder than everyone else". This is grammatically incorrect here.
2 louder: This is an incorrect choice. "Louder" is generally used as the comparative form of the adjective "loud". Example: His voice is louder than the others. "He doesn't speak as louder" is grammatically incorrect; an adverb is required in this construction. In comparative constructions with "as", an adverb is generally used. Example: He doesn't speak French as fluently as his mother.
3 loud: This is the correct choice. The adjective "loud" describes the high volume of the music in this sentence. "Loud" is the only term which fits in this construction correctly.
3 louder: This is an incorrect choice. "The music was very louder" is grammatically incorrect. "Louder" is generally used as the comparative form of the adjective "loud". Example: His voice is louder than the others.
3 aloud: This is an incorrect choice. "Aloud" is an adverb which usually describes how someone is reading. Example: Read this passage aloud please. This term is used exclusively to distinguish between reading mentally from reading vocally, and cannot be used to describe the volume of music.
3 loudly: This is an incorrect choice. "The music was very loudly" is grammatically incorrect. This sentence requires an adjective to describe the high volume of the music, and not an adverb.
4 louder: This is the correct choice. In this sentence, "louder" is used as the comparative form of the adjective "loud", and describes the volume of the speaker's voice. Here the speaker is asking whether he should raise or reduce the volume of his voice from the way he is currently speaking. Example: His voice is louder than the others.
4 aloud: This is an incorrect choice. "Aloud" is an adverb which usually describes how someone is reading. Example: Read this passage aloud please. This term is used exclusively to distinguish between reading mentally from reading vocally, and cannot be used to describe the volume of one's voice.
4 loudly: This is an incorrect choice. Although one can speak "loudly", it doesn't make sense to use the term here due to the presence of the comparative adjective "softer" in this sentence. It makes more sense to use the comparative adjective "louder" to distinguish between the speaker's current volume and the volume at which he is proposing to speak.
4 loud: This is an incorrect choice. The adjective "loud" refers to something that produces a lot of noise, but due to the presence of the comparative adjective "softer", it makes more sense to use "louder" here. The question "do you want me to speak softer or loud?" is very unnatural.

This is one of the features of the SSSS5000. The announcer says "we've pumped up the volume on our alarms". To "pump up" is to increase or amplify. This term is usually applied to the "volume" of a device, however it can also mean to increase, strengthen or inflate. Example: Every spring I pump up the tires on my bicycle.
This is one of the features of the SSSS5000. The announcer tells us that "We've increased the voltage on our electric shock feature", meaning that the SSSS5000 device emits an electric shock or "discharge" to home invaders.
This is not one of the features mentioned in the advertisement.
This is not one of the features mentioned in the advertisement. An "on-site (medical evaluation at a school)" is one which takes place at a particular location, in this case, a school.

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".

Which of the following phrases describes the idea of "standing out from the crowd" as it is used in Luna's email?
Which of the following phrases describes the idea of "standing out from the crowd" as it is used in Luna's email?
Don't confuse this idiom with the action of "standing away from a crowd" which might describe a "shy" or "timid" person.
Although someone who is much taller than other people would literally "stand out from the crowd", the idiom is generally used figuratively. Luna is not referring to Trey's height here.
Although you may notice someone in a crowd who was a lot "louder" or "noisier" than other people, this is not what the idiom "to stand out from the crowd" means.
"Standing out from a crowd" is not the same as being a "born leader". A "born leader" is a natural leader: someone who earns the trust and respect of people very easily. Examples of some people who were "born leaders" are God, Yoda and Gandhi. These three fine people all accepted a calling to save people and lead them to a better life.
When someone "stands out from the crowd", there is something about them that is different from the others. It may be something physical, but in this case it is Trey's personal qualities, experience and qualifications which set him apart from the rest of the candidates. This makes him "stand out from the crowd". A "crowd" is a group or gathering of people.
