Every human being is [vulnerable] to communicable disease
Bayanin Amsa
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.

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.

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.

"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."

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.
