Activities
- Hopefully this explanation of what the different choices mean will be helpful: 1. She always brings recycling / recyclable bottles. Recyclable bottles means bottles that they are able to be recycled. Recycling bottles would mean bottles that are used for the purpose of recycling. 2. He likes the usable / user - friendly feautres of his new dishwater. Usable features would be a strange thing to say, since all features are usually able to be used. User-friendly means the features are easy to use, or friendly to the user of the dishwasher. 3. We have energy- efficency / energy- efficient lights in our house. Efficiency is a noun that refers to the idea of being efficient and doesn't quite fit here. Efficient is an adjective that describes the light, so it makes sense. 4. I only use natural- friendly / nature - friendly detergents. The detergents are friendly to nature (nature-friendly). You can't be friendly to "natural" because natural is not a thing, it is a description. 5. Disposing / Disposable batteries are bad for the environment. The batteries are able to be disposed (disposable). Disposing batteries would be batteries that are used for the purpose of disposing. But the purpose of batteries is not to dispose them, that's just something that you can do with them after they've been used.0 votedMay 29, 20161
- You can find vocabulary on Quizlet.com, search for "Levantine" and "Iraqi" With a quick google there seems to be books available online for free, search "colloquial" and "levantine" or "iraqi". I can also give you a cheat sheet of very basic verbs and phrases for both that I've made, PM me.0 votedMay 24, 20160
- I think this may be a misunderstanding of what "took you to task" means. It means that the parent was upset with the son and scolded him. So, with this understanding it makes sense that the parent "took him to task" for NOT cleaning his shoes. He should have cleaned his shoes, but he did not.0 votedMay 23, 20161
- I may need more context, the "for" at the beginning of the sentence indicates that this statement is built upon something that was said before. If I had to guess I would say that pre-judging people makes them more likely to be closed-minded toward others because they do not feel welcome. In other words, perception becomes reality.0 votedMay 23, 20162
- An exception is like a contradiction. It's saying that global warming is the largest threat, but it's also possible that a world war, asteroid or plague could be the largest threat, which would be an exception to the first statement. This "possible exception" phrasing is simply used as a way to compare the severity and danger of global warming to other obviously terrible things like plagues and World Wars.0 votedMay 23, 20160
- Invested is a stronger word. It implies that you made an effort with the expectation of a specific result, or that the effort required a sacrifice of time, money, etc. In this case the expected result was to answer all the questions, however some questions remain unanswered despite the effort. "Taken" doesn't imply this necessarily, it just means that the effort was made.0 votedMay 22, 20160
- It was probably the porter. This is an old style elevator, so the grill and doors had to be shut by someone since it didn't happen automatically. Since it is noted that the porter pushed the button, he probably also shut the doors and the grill. But this sentence's use of passive voice makes it unclear who did it.0 votedMay 22, 20161
