Her findings [exploded] widely held beliefs about learning
Bayanin Amsa

'Debunked' means to expose the falseness or hollowness of a belief or myth, which is similar to what 'exploded' means in this sentence. Therefore, the option 'debunked' is the best choice.

Bayanin Amsa
The correct option is "Estimates". This means that the World Health Organization is providing an educated guess or approximation of the number of Ugandans who are HIV positive, which is 1.8 million people. The use of the word "estimates" indicates that this number may not be exact, but it is the best estimate based on available data and analysis.

The Ugandan AIDS Commission set up by President Museveni ..8...... the spread of the disease.
Bayanin Amsa
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.

His many years of success in legal practise ........ didn't come out without challenges
Bayanin Amsa
The best word to complete the sentence would be "didn't come out without challenges" is "However". The word "however" is commonly used to introduce a contrast or a contradiction to the previous statement, which makes it an appropriate choice in this sentence. It indicates that despite the success achieved in legal practice over many years, there were still challenges that had to be faced. The other options could also fit in the sentence grammatically, but they wouldn't convey the intended meaning of a contradiction or contrast between the two parts of the sentence. For instance, "indeed" would be used to emphasize and confirm the truth of the statement made in the first part of the sentence. "But" would also introduce a contrast, but it would suggest a less strong opposition than "however". "In spite of all" would imply that there were challenges, but it wouldn't create the necessary contrast to the first part of the sentence.

At the same time, he pushed a button on the panel to activate automatic turning, and the aeroplane ....4.... north-east
Bayanin Amsa
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."

Bayanin Amsa
In the given passage, the most appropriate option for the gap 6 is "landing". To explain this in simple terms, when the pilot reported the misshapen left rear to the control tower, he also requested clearance for an emergency landing. This means that the pilot was seeking permission to land the aircraft immediately due to the mechanical issue with the plane. The word "emergency" indicates that the situation was urgent and required immediate action. Therefore, the correct option for the gap 6 is "landing".

Similarly, "unsavoury" means unpleasant or morally offensive. In the given sentence, Okibe was rusticated (suspended or expelled) for making a disrespectful remark about the principal. Therefore, "unsavoury" accurately describes the nature of Okibe's remark.

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.

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.

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.
All the following are roles of the media but?
Bayanin Amsa
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."
