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.

GoldenWheelchair.com specialises in:
GoldenWheelchair.com specialises in:
This is incorrect. GoldenWheelchair.com is a company with an internet address, but the commercial does not say that the company provides internet access.
This is incorrect. GoldenWheelchair.com does not provide health care, but financial reimbursement for any injury suffered in an accident. "Health care" is usually the treatment of illness by medical professionals.
This is incorrect. The commercial for GoldenWheelchair.com does not say that it provides car insurance, but compensation of any injury suffered in an accident. "Insurance" is different to "compensation" in that it is a promise of reimbursement in the case of loss and not the payment itself.
This is the correct answer. The voice of the television commercial says that GoldenWheelchair.com "can help you get the compensation you deserve" if you have "been involved in an accident that wasn't your fault". "Compensation" is payment for a loss. We receive "compensation" when we return a "faulty" or "damaged" product, or when someone has caused us harm.

Bruno talks about firing Icarus on the spot. Here, "on the spot" means:
Bruno talks about firing Icarus on the spot. Here, "on the spot" means:
This is not correct. Bruno's threat describes how quickly he should fire Icarus. It is unrelated to money.
This is not correct. Bruno's threat describes how quickly he should fire Icarus. It is unrelated to references for a future job for Icarus.
This is the right answer. To do something "on the spot" is to do it "immediately" or "right away". Another example: "You don't have to give me an answer on the spot: I can wait for a week".
