Detalles de la respuesta
The passage mentions three roles of the media - to inform, entertain, and persuade. However, the passage does not mention moralization as a role of the media. Informing is a role of the media where they provide news and information about current events, politics, sports, business, and other topics of interest. Entertaining is another role of the media where they provide content like movies, TV shows, music, and other forms of entertainment to keep the audience engaged. Persuading is also a role of the media where they attempt to influence the audience's opinions or behaviors, such as through advertisements or political campaigns. "Moralization" is not mentioned as a role of the media in this passage, and it does not fit under any of the three roles mentioned. Moralization refers to the process of conveying moral values or principles, which is not explicitly mentioned in the passage. Therefore, the answer is "Moralization."

The most appropriate option for the gap is "cockpit." The context of the passage suggests that the missing word refers to the area where the pilot is located, and the word "cockpit" is commonly used to describe this area in an aircraft. In addition, the subsequent actions of the pilot, such as pushing a button on the panel to activate automatic turning, and calling the control to report the misshape, all suggest that he is operating from the cockpit of the plane. Therefore, "cockpit" is the most appropriate option for the gap.

Detalles de la respuesta
The sentence is describing what the pilot did in response to a mechanical issue with the aircraft. The phrase "activate automatic turning" suggests that the pilot used a button on the control panel to activate a feature that would cause the aircraft to turn automatically. The word "north-east" indicates the direction in which the aircraft turned. The word "veered" means to change direction suddenly, so it is the most appropriate option for the given context. Therefore, the correct option is "veered." The completed sentence would read: "At the same time, he pushed a button on the panel to activate automatic turning, and the aeroplane veered north-east."

Read the Passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The term Mass Communication occurs when information is disseminated to a relatively large number of people in different places. it should be seen as the same thing with talking face to face with someone else. With mass communication, there is no answer, smile, laugh or lock of surprise. the people who receive the message are as far away from the source of the message as far away as you are from the announcers on the radio or from the newscasters on television, or from the writer of a column in the local newspaper.
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. Again, the aim may be to persuade as when the media are used by advertisers or for political broadcasts. The media are often in strong position to influence public opinion because they select the topics to be presented and can stress the importance of one issue over the other.
The mass media have, in recent times, come under acerbic criticism. Many presenters have become not only conscientized but also immensely concerned about the possible effects that science of violence and bad behavior may have on their children. More worrisome are the potential danger of political and commercial propaganda.
