Détails de la réponse
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."

Détails de la réponse
In "Sweet Sixteen," Bolaji Abdullahi notes that stereoscopic people should be corrected of their bad thinking. To explain this in simple terms, being stereoscopic means having a narrow and limited perspective on things, which often leads to making judgments and forming opinions based on preconceived notions or generalizations, rather than on actual knowledge or experience. Therefore, it is important to correct this kind of thinking by providing more information and educating individuals about different perspectives and experiences, as well as challenging their assumptions and biases. This can help them broaden their understanding and become more open-minded and accepting of diversity.

Its diameters vary from about six millimeters in some species to more than ninety centimeters in the giant verities of Australia. Like corals, hydras and jelly fish, sea anemones are coelenterates. They can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower part of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells or wharf pilings.
The upper and end of the sea anemone has a mouth surrounded by tentacles which the animal uses to capture its food. Stinging cells in the tentacles throw out tiny poison threads that paralyze other small sea animals. The tentacles then drag this prey into the sea anemone's mouth.The food is digested in the large inner body cavity. When disturbed, a sea anemone retracts its lump on a rock. Anemones may reproduce by forming eggs. dividing in half or developing buds that grow and break off as independent animals.

Here, you are rejecting both options, and you do not want either one. "Either/nor" is not a commonly used phrase, so it's best to avoid it.

Détails de la réponse
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.
