COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE: HOW TO TALK ABOUT SOMEONE IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
In English, we
change our tone, vocabulary, and level of detail depending on who we
are talking to—a boss, a friend, a stranger, an elder, or a child—and
depending on the situation: formal, casual, complaining, praising, or
simply sharing information.

Answers
for Set 1:
|
Q |
Answer |
Reason |
|
1 |
A) enormous |
The context describes
biodiversity, so "enormous" (huge) fits. Others contradict the
idea. |
|
2 |
B) significant |
Climate change is a major threat,
so "significant" is correct. "Trivial" and
"imaginary" are opposites. |
