Phrasal verbs consist of a verb plus a particle (preposition or adverb) and often exhibit semantic opacity, posing challenges for learners regarding separability and transitivity. Regarding the syntactic rules of phrasal verbs, mark T for true and F for false:

(__) "Look up" (meaning to search for information) is a transitive separable phrasal verb, allowing the object to be placed between the verb and the particle (e.g., "Look the word up").
(__) "Run into" (meaning to meet by chance) is a transitive inseparable phrasal verb, meaning the object must follow the particle (e.g., "I ran into him", not "I ran him into").
(__) "Wake up" is exclusively intransitive and can never take a direct object in any context.
(__) If the object of a separable phrasal verb is a pronoun (e.g., it, them), it must be placed between the verb and the particle (e.g., "Turn it on", not "Turn on it").

Plan to test Liberian schoolchildren for drugs blocked

October 17th, 2025

By Moses Kollie Garzeawu

Monrovia, Liberia, Africa


Liberia's Education Ministry has blocked controversial plans to introduce mandatory drug testing in all of the country's schools.


Speaking to local media, the interim head of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), Fitzgerald Biago, said school testing would help address the growing problem of drug abuse.


The announcement sparked a mixed response. Some thought it would help tackle the scourge of drugs, while others saw it as an invasion of privacy, or feared it would cost too much.


Last year, President Joseph Boakai declared drug and substance abuse a national emergency and a recent EU-backed report estimated that one in five young Liberians take drugs.


However, the Education Ministry said it was not aware of any plans to test students and added that such a decision needed to be based on concrete evidence and properly thought through.


Assistant minister in charge of students Sona Toure-Sesay told the BBC that this kind of plan required proper research. "Let's assume we are made aware of the proposed initiatives by the LDEA, it will require us to conduct research and review case studies from other countries where this has been successful," she said.  


Toure-Sesay also noted that testing could affect students. "What happens to students who test positive? What are the social services in place for them? Some of them might be bullied even after returning, and it may affect their overall educational performances."


She added that a multi-sectoral committee on drug and substance abuse had been set up, headed by the Health Ministry. Along with strengthening health clubs in schools, she said that this would help to reduce the prevalence of drugs among students.


President Boakai dismissed the leadership of the LDEA in August this year, and recently appointed Biago, a former senior police officer, as interim head of the agency.

Text 2 – The Picture of Dorian Gray


The Picture of Dorian Gray, moral fantasy novel by Irish writer Oscar Wilde, published in an early form in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine in 1890. The novel, the only one written by Wilde, had six additional chapters when it was released as a book in 1891. An archetypal tale of a young man who purchases eternal youth at the expense of his soul, the work is a romantic exposition of Wilde’s own Aestheticism.

The story begins in the art studio of Basil Hallward, who is discussing a current painting with his witty and amoral friend Lord Henry Wotton. Henry thinks that the painting, a portrait of an extraordinarily beautiful young man, should be displayed, but Basil disagrees, fearing that his obsession with the portrait’s subject, Dorian Gray, can be seen in the work. Dorian then arrives, and he is fascinated as Henry explains his belief that one should live life to the fullest by indulging one’s impulses. Henry also points out that beauty and youth are fleeting, and Dorian declares that he would give his soul if the portrait were to grow old and wrinkled while he remained young and handsome. Basil gives the painting to Dorian.
