练习 1
Fiona writes that the average number of hours Horatio spends at work each day .
Fiona writes that the average number of hours Horatio spends at work each day does not accurately represent his irregular weekly schedule.
does not accurately represent his irregular weekly schedule: This is the best choice here. Fiona writes: "This average is poorly indicative of Mr. Oléré's time management". She then copies a schedule of a sample week of Horatio's arrival and departure times for the office. We see that his average is not accurate because Horatio works sometimes only two hours a day, and sometimes twelve.
is far below the number of hours he actually works: Fiona writes simply that average number of hours Horatio works per day (9.5) is not accurate, or representative his time management. She is not making a statement about how much work he is actually doing.
is slightly higher than the number of hours he actually works: Fiona writes simply that average number of hours Horatio works per day (9.5) is not accurate, or representative his time management. She is not making a quantitative or qualitative statement about how much work he is actually doing.
is a poor, but accurate estimate of his weekly schedule: In fact, Fiona implies that the average is not at all accurate.

finally: Finally, ("at last") is not synonymous with "abruptly" in this, or any other context.
poorly: "Poorly" ("weakly" or "not well") is not synonymous with "abruptly".
recently: "Recently" ("not long ago") is not synonymous with "abruptly".

If an item has "sold out", then it:
Select the best definition for the term below.
If an item has "sold out", then it:
If an item has "sold out", then it:
This is not the right definition for "sold out". Items which are no longer being produced are often called "discontinued".
An item which is "on sale" is being sold at a reduced price, or has been discounted. This is not the right definition for "sold out".
This is not the right definition for "sold out", which describes an item which has generally sold very well! "Poorly" means "badly" in this context.
This is a good definition for the expression "sold out". An item which has "sold out" is no longer in stock, or isn't available, generally due to very good sales and high demand. Example: We don't have any more Ephones, they sold out within a week.
