There are three identifiable means of errors in mass communication. There is one done through the printed words, books, magazine and newspapers. The other is primarily radio, but also records and tape recordings. Also, it can be done through a combination of sound and pictures as in television, films and the more recently popular video tape.
Together, they are referred to as the mass media.
All media can be used to inform and entertain. However, there are coverts roles played. It may be to educate as in school broadcast.

More worrisome are the potential danger of political and commercial propaganda.

The most appropriate option for this group is "monitors". The sentence states that the Ugandan AIDS Commission was set up by President Museveni to deal with the spread of the disease. The word "monitors" means to keep a close watch over something, which is exactly what the Ugandan AIDS Commission was created to do. The Commission's main role is to monitor the spread of HIV and AIDS in Uganda and to implement measures to prevent it from spreading further. The other options, "limits", "anticipates", and "increases", do not make sense in this context. The Ugandan AIDS Commission was not set up to limit or increase the spread of the disease, nor was it created to anticipate the spread of the disease.

Every human being is [vulnerable] to communicable disease
Detalles de la respuesta
The option that is nearest in meaning to the word "vulnerable" in the sentence "Every human being is vulnerable to communicable disease" is "liable." Explanation: - The word "vulnerable" means susceptible to harm or damage from a specific source, in this case, communicable diseases. - The word "liable" means legally responsible for something or subject to something, typically something unpleasant or negative. - In the context of the sentence, "liable" suggests that every human being is subject to the risk of communicable diseases and may contract them. - It implies that humans are not immune to communicable diseases and are therefore susceptible to them. Therefore, "liable" is the correct answer as it best conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.

"It is high time we stopped seeing her" would be the correct option.

Based on the context provided in the passage, the most appropriate word for the gap would be "hatch". A hatch is a small opening in the aircraft's structure that allows access to internal compartments or mechanical components. In this case, the emergency sheet was used to cover the improperly secured hatch, which suggests that the hatch was the problem area. The other options, such as door, entrance, and gate, do not fit the context of an improperly secured opening on an aircraft.

Detalles de la respuesta
The most appropriate word to fill in the blank is "intensive." The sentence suggests that Alice had been receiving proper treatment for her AIDS for three months, which implies that the treatment was more than just a basic or light form of care. "Intensive" means something that is thorough, concentrated, and focused on achieving a specific goal. In this context, it suggests that Alice was receiving a rigorous and demanding form of treatment for her AIDS, which ultimately helped her regain the will to live.

Vacancies in the company will be notified by .....
Detalles de la respuesta
The word that best completes the sentence is "advertisement." The word "advertisement" is the most appropriate option in the context of notifying vacancies in the company to the public. It refers to a paid promotion or notice in a medium such as newspapers, websites, or social media. Companies typically use advertisements to attract the attention of job seekers and notify them of job openings. The other options provided could also be used in some contexts, but they do not specifically convey the idea of job vacancies. For instance, "bulletin" is a general term for a brief announcement or report of recent events, while "publication" refers to a printed or online material that contains articles, stories, or other content. "Publicity" typically refers to the act of promoting or advertising something to the public, without necessarily indicating that there are job vacancies available.
