Which of the following statements best explains the meaning of this phrase?
Which of the following statements best explains the meaning of this phrase?
Grandfather has "contempt" for modern medicine, which means that he "despises", or greatly dislikes doctors and hospitals. The noun "contempt" expresses a strong, intense distaste or distrust for something.
"To have contempt for someone or something" expresses "dislike" or even "hatred" of a person or thing. This statement has nothing to do with "fear" or being afraid of hospitals and doctors.
Grandfather does not say this. "A lifelong belief" is a belief that someone has had throughout their life. To have "contempt" for something is to dislike or hate it.
Grandfather has always expressed his contempt for modern medicine, meaning that he has never liked doctors or hospitals. His statement doesn't express that Grandfather always wanted to be a doctor.

This is not a true statement. Bruno tells Philip 'don't interrupt', and later tells him to 'calm down' which indicates that he will not 'allow' or 'permit' Philip to interrupt Susie during her argument.
This is a true statement. Susie says, 'immediately after the public became aware of their labor practices, Shmike's stock dropped 44% despite a booming stock market.' When she says 'the public became aware' she means that the public 'found out' or 'discovered the truth' about the company's labor practices.
This is a true statement. Susie says, 'Angry factory workers in Indonesia actually raided their own facility and stole merchandise and equipment...' This means that mistreated Shmike workers entered their own factories in order to steal merchandise and machinery from the factory. To 'raid' is to invade, usually for the purpose of stealing. To break into (a house) is to enter it by force.
This is not the best choice. It is Philip who 'insists on making this a financial issue'. Susie presents an argument which takes into account both the ethical and financial disadvantages of using cheap labor. It would be inaccurate to say that Susie believes that labor abuse is 'strictly', or 'purely' a financial issue.

Property 2 is painted pink, yellow and pale blue all over 2.
Property 3 has a lot of 3 storage space.
Property 1 is situated in a green 1 area.
Property 2 is painted pink, yellow and pale blue all over 2.
Property 3 has a lot of 3 storage space.
1 green: Property one is described as being "leafy". The term "leafy" refers to an area that is filled with lots of trees, plants, leaves and greenery. A "green area" describes the same type of area, one with bushes, trees, grass etc. In this context "green" and "leafy" are synonymous.
1 run-down: The term "run-down" means to be in poor condition, or deteriorated. This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
1 spacious: The word "spacious" indicates having a lot of "room" or "space". This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
1 safe: The term "safe" means "unthreatening" or "not dangerous". This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
2 all over: Jacob Flatman writes that Property 2 is painted pink, yellow and pale blue "throughout". The term "throughout" means "all over" or everywhere.
2 outside : The term "outside" means on or to the external or outer side. This is not synonymous with "throughout".
2 underneath: The term "underneath" means on the underside, lower face or below. This term is not synonymous with "throughout".
2 in certain parts : The phrase "in certain parts" refers to selected areas or portions, whereas the term "throughout" refers to "all" or the entirety of a surface (in this case).
3 a lot of: Flatman writes that the third property has "plenty" of storage space. The term "plenty" refers to an "abundance" or "large amount" of something. The term is synonymous with "a lot".
3 shared: The term "plenty" doesn't refer to a "shared" storage space, which would indicate a storage space used by two or more people.
3 hardly any: The phrase "hardly any" means "not very much", which is not synonymous with "plenty".
3 limited: An apartment with "limited storage space" has little storage space. This isn't what is meant by "plenty" of storage space.

This statement is false. Polly begins her email by listing some of "the more ridiculous suggestions" she received. She then goes on to list the ones that did "catch (her) eye". This indicates that she considered at least some of the suggestions she received. Polly seriously considered both the "Secret Santa" and "Christmas card recycling box" initiatives proposed by Luna.
This statement is false. Polly writes that she will be placing recycling bins "throughout" the office, meaning that she will be putting recycling bins "all over" or "in several places" within the office. In this context, when she says "the office", she is referring to the whole space in which everyone works. This is different from "her office", which refers to the smaller space in which only Polly works.
This statement is false. Polly writes that "the presents will be handed out by "Santa" just before Bruno's "end of year" speech." As is the case with many CEO's, Bruno will be giving a speech at the Christmas party but he will not be giving out any presents as this is "Santa's" job. Santa refers to "Santa Claus" or "Father Christmas", that jolly, bearded, morbidly obese man who wets our whistle during the Christmas season.
This is a true statement. Polly writes that one or two of the staff's suggestions got her attention. She then goes on to list Luna's suggestions (for a Christmas party and gift exchange) as the only ones which interested her.
This is a true statement. Polly writes, "You will then be required to buy a Christmas gift for the person you selected". The term "required" signals that buying a present is mandatory or obligatory.

1 approximately: This is correct. If (the price) is roughly 500,000 dollars, then (the price) is approximately 500,000 dollars. The term "roughly" can be used in a variety of situations. For example: He hates you - that's roughly what he said, anyway. Note: The literal meaning of "roughly" describes a brusque or violent action, (one which isn't gentle).
1 unfortunately: This is incorrect. The term "unfortunately" is not a synonym of "roughly". The word "unfortunately" means that something is unlucky or regrettable. For example: Unfortunately, I left all my money on the train.
1 in difficulty: This is incorrect. The term "in difficulty" is not a synonym of "roughly". To be in difficulty means to have problems. For example: The business is in difficulty because we lost a contract to our main competitor.
1 exactly: This is incorrect. The term "exactly" is not a synonym of "roughly". In fact, these terms have opposite meanings. "Exactly" means "precisely". For example: I am exactly 2 meters tall (and I am, too!).
2 through: This the best choice. "Through" rhymes with "you", "too" and "two". It does not rhyme with "rough" (or "tough" or "stuff").
2 tough: This is not the best choice. "tough" rhymes with "rough" (and "stuff").
2 stuff: This is not the best choice. "stuff" rhymes with "rough" (and "tough").
