Which of the following statements use the term "cancel out" correctly?
"... in order to cancel out all the bad resonance"

Which of the following statements use the term "cancel out" correctly?
This is an incorrect use of "to cancel out". "To cancel out" is not a synonym of "destroy" or "pull down".
This is a correct use of "to cancel out". By producing a sound wave that is equal but opposite to the sound wave of noise from the surrounding environment, special headphones are able "to cancel out" or "neutralize" ambient noise.
This is an incorrect use of "to cancel out". "To cancel out" is not used to describe the cancellation of an event. In this example, "to cancel" (on its own) is better. Example: The picnic was cancelled due to bad weather.
This is a correct use of "to cancel out". If two things cancel (each other) out, they are of equal importance but have an opposite effect. Example: Fortunately, recent profits have cancelled out our losses from early in the year.
练习 3
Bob tells Luna that maybe he should "grab another slice of cake", or at least "hide one away".

This means that Bob may another piece of cake, or at least it.
Bob tells Luna that maybe he should "grab another slice of cake", or at least "hide one away".

This means that Bob may take 1 another piece of cake, or at least conceal 2 it.
1 take: This is the best choice here. Bob tells Luna that he should "grab" another slice of cake. The verb "to grab" has several meanings. In this context, Bob is thinking about physically "taking" another slice of cake.
1 bake: This is incorrect. To "bake (another cake)" has a different meaning than to "grab another" piece of cake. "Baking" is a style of cooking using an oven.
1 look for: This is incorrect. To "look for (another piece of cake)" has a different meaning than to "grab another" piece of cake. "To look for (an object)" is to search for it or try to find it.
1 bite: This is incorrect. To "bite" another piece cake has a different meaning than to "grab another" piece of cake. To "bite (into a piece of cake)" is to put a piece of cake in the mouth and to begin to eat it.
2 conceal: This is the best choice. Bob tells Luna that he is thinking about "hiding" the cake so that no one else eats it. "To conceal" is very close in meaning to the verb "to hide", and the idiom "to hide away". For example, a police officer might ask a suspected criminal if he or she is carrying a "concealed weapon".
2 disguise: Bob is not considering "disguising" the cake, but "hiding" it. To disguise means to change appearance, for example: I disguised myself as a stormtrooper, and managed to escape past the Imperial guard.
2 destroy: Bob is not considering "destroying" the cake, but "hiding" it. To destroy (something) is to physically ruin or break it.
2 divide: Bob is not considering "dividing" the cake, but "hiding" it.

Isabelle refers to Delavigne's groundbreaking work.

Which of the following terms is closest in meaning to "groundbreaking" in this context?
Isabelle refers to Delavigne's groundbreaking work.

Which of the following terms is closest in meaning to "groundbreaking" in this context?
"Elaborate" and "groundbreaking" don't share the same meaning. An "elaborate (dance)" is complex or complicated, while "groundbreaking" work is pioneering or original.
This is correct. "Groundbreaking" is synonymous with the terms "innovative", "original" or "pioneering" in this context. Example: She was awarded the Nobel Prize for her groundbreaking work on the sexual habits of the earthworm. This term literally describes the "earth" or "soil" which is "broken" to lay the foundations for a new building. In this letter, Isabelle writes that she was particularly interested by Horatio's groundbreaking work.
"Groundbreaking" certainly sounds dangerous, but the term refers to original or pioneering work, and not "dangerous" work, which is unsafe or poses a risk.
"Groundbreaking" certainly sounds dangerous, but the term refers to original or pioneering work, and not "destructive" work, which causes damage or "destroys" things..
