Reading comprehension · solved example

The shift to remote work, accelerated by the pandemic, has reshaped how companies think about offices. Employees enjoy saved commutes and greater flexibility, while firms can hire talent regardless of location. But the picture is not uniformly bright. Junior staff often learn best by watching seniors, something that video calls cannot fully replicate. Team spirit, too, can fray when colleagues never meet. Many organisations have therefore settled on a hybrid model, blending office days for collaboration with home days for focused work. Whether this compromise endures will depend on results, not slogans.

What is one benefit for firms mentioned?

  • Fewer meetings
  • Hiring talent regardless of locationCorrect
  • Higher taxes
  • Lower product prices
  • Larger offices

Solution

Firms can hire talent regardless of location.

Synonyms · solved example

Choose the word that is most nearly the SAME in meaning as: CALM

  • tranquilCorrect
  • metallic
  • frequent
  • agitated
  • crimson

Solution

"calm" means free from disturbance. The word most nearly similar in meaning is "tranquil".

Reading comprehension · solved example

Plastic has become both a marvel and a menace. Cheap, light and durable, it revolutionised packaging and medicine. Yet the same durability means that a bag used for minutes can persist in the environment for centuries. Much of it ends up in rivers and oceans, where it breaks into tiny fragments that enter the food chain. Bans on single-use plastic have helped in some cities, but critics argue that bans alone shift the burden onto consumers while producers escape responsibility. A lasting solution, many believe, will require redesigning products so that recycling is easy and profitable.

What makes plastic persist in the environment?

  • Its smell
  • Its colour
  • Its weight only
  • Its durabilityCorrect
  • Its price

Solution

Its durability means it lasts for centuries.
