Fill in the blank space 1
As the deal is being mentioned din the sentence which will make Coca-Cola the new sponsor of the London Eye, thus the verb SIGNING meaning ‘the action of writing one's signature on an official document’, in order to authorise the deal, makes option B the right answer.
Fill in the blank space 2
The blank requires an adjective to describe the kind of tourist attraction the giant ferris wheel is, thus LEADING meaning ‘most important’ is correct for the blank since the paragraph is praising the giant wheel all throughout the paragraph.
Fill in the blank space 3
The blank requires a past form to support WAS. The phrasal verbs KNOWN AS is used to refer to something or someone that is familiar to or understood by people. This makes option (a) the right answer, as it aptly describes that the giant ferris wheel was known to people as Millennium Wheel when it was introduced in 2000.
Fill in the blank space 4
The passage is talking about the companies which sponsored the ferris wheel, this makes option (b) SPONSORED correct as the sentence is taking about the company which PREVIOUSLY sponsored it, making its past form correct.
Fill in the blank space 5
TO STRIKE A DEAL is an idiom which means to come to an agreement. In this case the two-year deal is being taking place between Coca Cola and the wheel's owner, Merlin Entertainments. This makes option (c) correct.
Read the given passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the four given alternatives.
For most people, music is an important part of daily life. Some rely on music to get them through the morning commute, while others turn up a favorite playlist to stay pumped during a workout. Many folks even have the stereo on when they’re cooking a meal, taking a shower, or folding the laundry. Music is often linked to mood. A certain song can make us feel happy, sad, energetic, or relaxed. Because music can have such an impact on a person’s mindset and well-being, it should come as no surprise that music therapy has been studied for use in managing numerous medical conditions. All forms of music may have therapeutic effects, although music from one's own culture may be most effective. In Chinese medical theory, the five internal organs and meridian systems are believed to have corresponding musical tones, which are used to encourage healing.
Music is often linked to _________.
It can be inferred that the missing word is ‘mood’ simply by looking at the fourth line of the passage.
All the other options don’t seem to fit as well as ‘mood’.
How is music an important part of life?
The opening lines talk about how music plays an important part in daily life- for commuters, for people who exercise, for people who cook, shower or do any routine errand, hence the solution is 3.
Options 1 and 2 are not the answers because they talk about only some aspects of music.
Option 4 finds no mention in the passage, hence, it cannot be the answer.
Which of the statements is true?
Among all the options, only the fourth option is taken from the passage, hence it is the correct answer.
Statements 1, 2 and 3 may be true, but, since they aren’t mentioned in the passage, they are not true in the context of the passage.
How can music be used as therapy?
We can see that the passage explicitly states that music can be used as therapy to deal with medical conditions, hence, 2 is the correct option.
Option 1, 3 and, 4 are either incorrect or not mentioned.
In Chinese medical theory, the five internal organs and meridian systems _________.
The solution is Option 4 since the last line of the passage explicitly mentions that according to Chinese medical theory, the internal organs and the meridian system correspond to different musical tones, hence 4 is the answer.
